36 Degrees Bass Tab

Placebo Tabs:

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.

	The temperature is normal 36°C < x < 37°C. In Europe, 36.6 is said to be the standard.

	One degree makes a huge difference to how you feel though. I've heard it suggested that it's about temperature dropping after an OD, but I like the theory about being left in the cold by someone

	in answer to releaseme88, i doubt that this cover was relevant at all they just felt like putting something random.

No Picture Sir Dylan Rhythm Player	#4 by Sir Dylan Deconcini at Jun 6, 1996 at 8:56 PM EST
	i thought this song was about a cold hearted man. because 36 degrees is one degree lower than body temperature, and he has a very cold attitude 'thought i was getting carat gold, but what i got was you'

	its body metaphors. 37.5 degrees is average body temp, but 36 degrees is just below it. but they song is basically body and pshical metaphors

	Actually, 37 Celcius is normal body temperature, Brian chose this temp because it's just one little degree off. They all look freezing in the video, though.

	I read somewhere that 36 degrees is the temperature that your body drops to if you have drunk way to much. And the numbers are either random or the phone number of a cheap curry shop in London.
