Muse's single from their upcoming album 'The 2nd Law'
Whole song can be played clean with some slight compression!
Turn on the fuzz for the solo!
Verse 1 [0:00 - 0.53]: No Guitar but the chords are A# to D# (quite fun to jam along to)
Chorus 1 [0.53 - 1.15]: Gm -> F -> D#
Verse 2 [1.15 - 2:09]:
Guitar comes in at [1:26]
