Man Of Mystery tab by Muse
Guitar tabs
Tuning: Standard Man Of Mystery by Muse 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] _____________________________________________________________________________

The solo continued... Don't play the higher notes in brackets very loudly if at all,
try and make them noticeable in the first bar though at least.
