CITIZEN ERASED - Muse

Tabbed by: Ledcraft

Notes: This tab is mostly for singers who want to play this song and accompany themselves.
The real guitar part to the song doesn't sound good without all the bass and synth and stuff;
this is just an approximation. It sounds good, though.
I submitted this because the other version of the chords for this song is really awful,
nothing like it should...
INTRO - Again, this is an approximation.

VERSE - Matt just plays the intro through this part of the song. This way sounds a lot
solo.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/muse/citizen_erased_tab_ver_8.html )
[Am]Break me [G]in, [F]teach us to [E7]cheat
And to [Am]lie, cover [G]up what [F]shouldn't be [E7]shared
All the [Am]truth un[G]winding, [F]scraping [E7]away
At my [Am]mind, please stop [G]asking [F]me to de[E7]scribe him
CHORUS - Run through the chords once before singing. GL on the falsetto, )
[F]For one [C]moment,[E] I [Am]wish[G] you'd
[F]Hold your stage[C] with no [E7]feelings at all
[F]Open [C]min[E]ded I'm [Am]sure I [G]used
[F]To be[C] so [E7]free
VERSE (the same) - I usually play the intro again before going into the second verse.
Self expressed, exhausting for all
To see and to be what you want and what you need
The truth unwinding, scraping away
At my mind, please stop asking me to describe
CHORUS (the same)
INTERLUDE - Move this shape up and down the neck.
You can omit this part if you want (it does sound kinda thin on acoustic) and just play
intro again.
E|-5-6-7-8-7-6-|
B|-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
G|-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
And end on

G|-12-------|
CHORUS (the same)
OUTRO - Play the chords through a couple times before you come in with the vocals.
[C]Wash me away[Am] clean your [Am/G]body of me
[F]Erase[Fm] all the [C]memories
They will [Dm]only bring us [Am]pain[Am/G]
And I've [F]seen [Fm]all I'll ever [G]need[C]
That's pretty much it, email me if you have any questions/comments.
