Protect Me From What I Want Tabs & Lyrics by Placebo
Protect Me From What I Want
guitar tabs lyrics
After checking out many tabs on the internet i got annoyed
at the fact that none were correct and decided to tab it myself.
I learnt this by playing along with the cd so i'm pretty certain its
all correct.
Please give me feedback and corrections
Guitar One - Clean EBGDAE
Guitar Two - Overdriven EBGDAE
Guitar Three - Overdriven EBGDAE
Piano Intro/Verse for Guitar - Repeated throughout the song

I found that this way was easiest to play, but does sound quite bassy when
played with the CD. This is another way to play it which sounds more like
the piano you hear. Requires fast finger changes and one big stretch.

I'm afraid i can't figure out the lead line going on in the second chorus.
Although, just doing bends on the 9th fret, G string does sound good if you
get it right. Just working with the E minor scale will work.
