Tabbed By Chris Blackburn - [email protected]

Muse are ace, cos i saw them live, and this song just rocks.  I'm working my way thru
completely tabbing the songs as full as possible, and this was next on my hitlist.

Enjoy


Tuning - Dropped-D   DADGBE

Notes

/ slide up
 slide down
h hammer on
p pull off
^ string bend

Effects required - Whammy pedal and any means of distortion (preferably two)


Intro - this is played by matt on the piano, so i have arranged it for 2 guitars, if you
are only using one guitar, play the second part, as it sounds better as a solo perfomance.
If you want the piano part, im sure i could write it out and scan it for you, if you email
and ask for it.

Intro Part 1 (played thru once on its own, then second time with part 2)

      Em              B  		    Em              C               G               B

The first verses with only piano are the same, with the following lyrics. The chords
are there for the timings between the lyrics and picking pattern.


Em	       B
Link it to the world

Em           B
Link it to yourself

Em         C       G       B
Stretch it like a birth squeeze

Em                    B
The love for what you hide

Em                  B
And the bitterness inside

Em         C        G       B
Is growing like the newborn

Em          B
When you've seen

Em    B
Seen

Em  C   G   B
Too much______

    Em    B   
Too young____

Em       B
young_______

Em C       G          B
souless is everywhere


Scratch around for a bit with distortion on, then the fun part (dont forget to jump around like
a mad man [or woman] whilst playing this part)

Pre-solo

This is just muted strums over the second fret, with increasing the whammy pedal pitch gradually,
and finally to a full one octave before the solo


Solo

This is played with the whammy fully depressed on 1 octave above normal pitch

All notes a tremolo picked extremely quickly


b--|-12--8--5--8--12--7--4--7--12--8--5--8--12--7--4--7--12--8--5--8--|

b--|-13--8--5--8--12--8--5--8--4-5-7--|

Then strum the strings above the nut with some sort of rhythm (if u wish to, cos it sounds ace
if you have pedals in a certain order)

This solo part is then repeated a second time and then drop the whammy
