Muse - Ruled by secrecy

Artist - Muse Song - Ruled By Secrecy Tabbed By - Liam Newmarch (mxusername: DeadPhoenix) Right, NB! this is obviously a piano song and as such, some of the chords are difficult to finger quickly. Because it's not possible to play both hands at once, i've chosen to tab the left, to give the most solid sound for a solo acoustic player. Beginner guitarists should be familiar with C-shape barred chords for this song. To get the best piano-like tone, i suggest rolling back the treble to halfway and using a light delay Tuning-wise, for this song i don't use the low E string. So if you want, you can leave your guitar in drop D / A / E-8ve or whatever tunings you personally use! The other strings however are standard - ADGBe tuning. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Intro e |---8------------8----------------| B |o----9p8----8h9----9p8----8h9---o| G |---------10------------10--------| I usually don't bother with this bit and prefer to launch D |---------------------------------| straight into the verse... but if you want to be true to A |o-------------------------------o| the song, go for it and use two guitars. - |---------------------------------| Fm e |----------------------------------------------------| B |--------1-----------1-----------1-----------1-------| This is the picking pattern that is used G |------1---1-------1---1-------1---1-------1---1-----| for the song (expt. the interlude).
