Blackout by Muse
 
Thanks to Logan for his tab which gave me the initial direction for this one. I've
added the bass-note changes and corrected a few of the chords. They're also much
easier to play with the bass-notes with a capo.
 
It's not as scary as it looks. Just lots of root notes on the chords.
 
Capo - Fret 1 - All notes are relative to the capo.

only thing I would change is that it sounds like it should be a D/F# not an Eb
