Citizen Erased - Muse off the album Origin of Symmetry.
This is just a tab of how Matt plays it live not too many differences just a few changes
in riffs and in the guitar solo.
It is played on a 7 string guitar live but I don't own one so i have just tabbed this
for a 6 string guitar tuned down to drop A.
Feel free to rate, comment and post any corrections or questions you may have :)
