I read in an interview with Matt Bellemy that he used a Capo on the 10th fret for this song...but nevertheless this is is a pretty accurate tab nice job

the solo is wrong. But is still sort of in key but afterall you did make a good effort. PS. Muse rule!

bellemy uses a capo on the 10th fret, but this song is still spot on for the most part (solo). 4*
