Special K by Placebo in normal tuning
I found that over the inet in some wierd thing they call standard Placebo tuning(FCG#EbBbF#), which basically means that all string except the 6th are tuned up a semitone, the 6th is 1.5 tones higher. Having just visited the Placebo concert I decided to retab it to normal tuning. you may need to put a capo on the first fret.
