Special K Chords & Lyrics by Placebo
Special K
guitar chords lyrics
hey - tuning is signature Placebo F Bb Eb Ab C C (essentially 1/2 a step up with
the high e dropped down to C to match the B string)
Essentially to play the chords you can either tune your guitar up 1/2 a step, or
capo 1 and play the chords relative to the capo
Chords (if you want to use the Placebo tuning (otherwise just play them as you typically would):
Asus2 F C D5 ( F/E* )
C 0 (1) (1) 3 / x x - x
C 0 (1) 1 3 / x x - x
Ab 9 2 0 2 / 7 10 - 9
Eb 9 3 2 0 / 7 x - x
Bb 0 3 3 x / 5 8 - 7
F x 1 x x / x x - x
For all of the D5s you can play a Dm if you want
For the Cs you can also play a C5 (x355xx)
F/E* is really just playing an F octave (8th fret) 3times and then sliding down to
an E octave (7th fret)
