Muse - Apocalypse Please
Album � Absolution
Tuning: Dropped C# (or standard if you don`t play the bassnotes)

If you also play the intro then the higher notes will have more... impact, shall I say it.

Intro:
e |-----------------|
B |-----------------|
G |-----------------|
D |-----------------|
A |-4-4---4---4---4-| repeat 12 times or something.
C#|-0-0---0---0---0-|

On the CD you can hear at the end of �Intro� someone saying something. (..., it`s time)

And then:

Chorus/Break/Interlude/arpeggio section with the high vocals:

The arpeggio`s were to hard so I had to change it. Twice as fast as verse (Declare this 
emergency, it`s time we saw...)

Do everything a whole bar, the upper and bottom note must be picked 4 times.

You can also pick the notes a string higher, if you want
that version P.M.

Outro/solo (my best attempt) Major key is F#/C# if you want to improvise.
