We have an official Meds tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Title : Meds
Artist : Placebo
Album : Meds 2006
Composer : Brain Molko/Placebo
 
I came up with two different way of playing this amazing song. The first one - guitar tuning : Normal.
The second way is by tuning the guitar to placebo's tuning (F A# D# G# C C)
*No timing. Listen to the song first.

Captain Planet is right. But he was a bit harsh in saying that IPlacebo was completely wrong. All he needed to do was put a capo on 2nd fret in his second way of playing it.(With "Placebo Tuning", which looks basically like a half tone up, except for the e string, which is 2 tones down. So you can basically just put a capo on 1, as this song doesn't use the e string anyway)

im sure this does sound correct but placebo (brian) plays with the guitar tuned to something like: Low to High D G C F A D but its definatly not usual placebo tuning. placebo use loads of tunings

Spot on, 100%
