--------------------------------------------------------------------- Do We Need This? - Muse --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Paul McDermott Tuning: Eadgbe There wasn’t any sort of guitar tab for this (which was quite surprising considering its out 8 years and its such a good song) so I thought I’d try and tab it myself. I owe a of this to the bass tab but I’ve come up with the guitar parts. The timings a bit tricky so you’ll probably have to listen to the song a bit.
