Band: Muse
Song: United States Of Eurasia + Collateral Damage
Album: The Resistance (2009)
Bassist: Chris Wolstenholme
Tuning: GDAE# (originally half step down)

Note: The reason for this weird tuning is that You need to tune only one
string instead of four. Just tune Your lowest E string half step down and
You can play this song without tuning all strings down. This probably will
be helpful for people with one bass. If You still want half step down tuning
then tune all strings down and play A D G notes 1 fret lower For example
6th fret will be 7th, 3rd will be 4th etc.

Next part is only that's probably easier play on half step down tuning
but this isn't so hard either.

That's all! Second part of this tab is optional. That's how I play
Collateral Damage or Nocturne In E-Flat Major, Op.9 No.2,
by Frederic Chopin along with piano. If You are interested then let's go.
I wrote down approximate timings to make this easier. Let all those
notes ring.
