Man Of Mystery by Muse (not currently on an album as of 19/06/07; Cover) Standard tuning To my knowledge this was played a few times at various gigs around Europe before being played partway into the Saturday leg of their Wembley headlining gig. This might not be exactly how it's played LIVE - it's a recording from a CD in a music magazine. Enjoy. This is as close as I can work out :) This is how I play it, you can work out how to play it on other strings if you like. *I've put the times sectioned as it's not strictly sectioned into verse etc. _____________________________________________________________________________ [0:03] _____________________________________________________________________________ e|-12~-----------|-----------------------------| B|-15b17~--------|-----------------------------| G|---------------|-----------------------------| D|---------------|-----------------------------| A|---------------|-----------------------------| E|-----------12-|-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-| PM . . . . . . . . . . . . e|-12------------|-----------------------------| B|-15b17---------|-----------------------------| G|---------------|-----------------------------| D|---------------|-----------------------------| A|---------------|-----------------------------| E|-----------19-|-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0------| PM . . . . . . . . . . _____________________________________________________________________________ [0:09] _____________________________________________________________________________ e|---------------|-----------------|--------------|---------------| B|---------------|-----------------|--------------|---------------| G|--------10--9--|-------10p9-10p9-|-------10--9--|-------9p7-9p7-| D|-7--10---------|-6--9------------|-5--8---------|-4--7----------| A|---------------|-----------------|--------------|---------------| E|---------------|-----------------|--------------|---------------| e|-------------|---------------| B|-------------|---------------| G|----2--9--7--|----2--7p5-7p5-| D|-3-----------|-2-------------| A|-------------|---------------| E|-------------|---------------| Play the above section TWICE, the first timing ending with the last two bars as: e|-------------|---------------| B|-------------|---------------| G|-5--4--5--4--|-5--4--5p4-5p4-| D|-------------|---------------| A|-------------|---------------| E|-------------|---------------| And the second time ending with the last two bars as: w/bar[1/2-step] e|---------------|-------------| B|---------------|--1-V-1------| G|-5-4-3-4-5--4--|--2-V-2------| D|---------------|--2-V-2------| A|---------------|-------------| E|---------------|-------------| _____________________________________________________________________________ [0:34] _____________________________________________________________________________ e|----------------|---------------------|-------------------| B|--------12--10--|--------12p10-12p10--|-------------------| G|-7--10----------|-5--10---------------|-------------------| D|----------------|---------------------|-6--5--4--3---/(9)-| A|----------------|---------------------|-------------------| E|----------------|---------------------|-------------------| e|----------------|-------------1--1-1--|-------------------| B|----------------|-------------3--2-3--|---------0-1--0-1--| G|----------------|---------------------|---------2-2--2-2--| D|----------------|--0--0-0-0-----------|-------------------| A|--5-4-5-6-5-4-3-|---------------------|--0--0-0-----------| E|----------------|---------------------|-------------------| PM . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
