Muse – Supermassive Black Hole Live tab

Tabbed by: interlude46

Tuning: Standard


Intro: Matt sometimes plays a small left hand tapping improvisation before
 this song. Make sure you have an amp setting with lots of reverb to play
 this. It is hard to tab and may look complecated, but watch the song on
 HAARP to get the gist.
