                             MERCY - Muse
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: MarianMUSEr
Originally played by: Chris Wolstenholme (Muse)
 
I found two versions with different tunings on the internet, but in my opinion it's
a standart tuning, here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHTYil3oz34 ) you can see
and hear the bass pretty well.
That's my first tab in the internet, I would enjoy constructive critic, but I actually saw live
how Chris plays it.
