Title: MK Ultra
Artist: Muse
Album: The Resistance
Tabbed by Hazel (lezahtherock). Email: latetoo00@hotmail.com
Tuning: Drop D
NOTE: I've seen the other tabs out there. Usually the differences lie in the
chorus and bridge, but the verses are mostly alright (and pretty straightforward
really). I've finally given it a really good listen and I'm fairly certain that
this is how it's played. Give it a try and leave any comments/queries or email
me if you have anything to say.
