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 construcctive critics, but I think this is
how Chris plays it.
If you listen very carefully to the song, you might not hear the Ds (5th fret A string) in the
second time of the first two choruses, if that is the case, just don't play them ;)
