Muse 
Album: Blackholes and Revelations
Track 8: Exo-politics
Tuning Standard EADG

I have tabbed most of the song on the E string (excluding the pre-chorus), 
it's just the way I figured it out. If i see a live video of Dom playing 
it differently then i'll change it. But for now i'll let you see 
a simple tab that you can change to suit your style. 
Also you might wanna try using some fuzz effects. Give things 
a shot. 

It's a handy enough song, could be easily funked up. 

No Bass until 0:38

* The 7 at the end sounds like a bum note but it runs well with whats 
played after it. 
** the slide from 10 down is just something I noticed happening 
with the guitar, i'm not sure if it's happening on the bass too, 
but sure it works. 

*** Meh bridge/solo whatever, it's cool. 

Also not sure at all about the pre-chorus, i'm sure if i had the 
same effect as Dom it'd sound ok, but sure play around with what 
you have, i'm using a clean unamplified bass so i'm not how it'll 
sound when i plug it in and play. 

First tab ever.= Savage
