PLACEBO: 36 DEGREES: During the first verse of this song i'm sure
there's no bass so wait until the chorus ( ignore what I think are
the lyrics as they are most probably wrong!! ).
Chorus:
G————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
D————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A——4—4—4——4—4—4—4———4—4—4——4—4—4—4———8—8—8——8—8—8—8———8—8—8
E————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
G———————————————————————
D———————————————————————
A———8—8—8—8———————————
E———————————————————————
Repeat the chorus x3 after playing that round once.
Verse:
G————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
D————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
E——2—2—2——2—2—2—2———2—2—2——2—2—2—2———4—4—4——4—4—4—4————4—4
In hind sight i was more.........
G————————————————————
D————————————————————
A————————————————————
E——4—4—4————————————
Repeat that bit again until you do the chorus ( which is repaeted 4
times ).
After all that, Brian starts singing " 1,7,2,3,9,8,5, I gotta
breath to stay alive " under this play;
G————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
D————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
E——2 let ring....————————2——2——/——9——\————2 let ring....——————2——2—
G————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
D————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
E——/——9——\————2———2—2—2——2—2—2——/——9——9——9—9—9——9—9—9——\——————
Repeat that a few more times and keep repeating it after brians
stopped singing. After all that play the chorus twice and end it all
by playing the second fret on the E string once and letting it ring
until it fades out and the song ends.

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|---3---------------|
E|-------------------|
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
G|-------------------|
D|-------5h7---------|
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
G|-------------------|
D|-------7p5---------|
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
G|-------------------|
D|-------5/7---------|
G|-------7b9---------|
G|-------7~----------|
Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.
Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
