 Breathe Underwater
Artist: Placebo
Album: Battle For The Sun (2009)

Notes: I am confident about everything apart from the outro. There are several guitars 
layered, and the bass and drums get very heavy so it's hard to hear what's going on. I 
have tabbed the main parts, but in the outro there is at least one more guitar playing
a very high repeating part which I haven't included. The song has a very driving rhythm
which I have tried to tab. I have included a marker for every 8th beat to help. Enjoy
playing it!

Tuning: EBGDAD (Drop D)
