Muse – Madness tab ver. 4

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]
