Muse - New Born
*Modified - I noticed a wrong chord, in the chorus - LOOK*
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.

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.

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
