Artist: Muse
Song: Knights Of Cydonia Live


Here's my version of the tab for Knights Of Cydonia by Muse.
It's basically my interpretation of Mr. Bellamy's live performance
of this song, and its got all the extra little things that he does
that are not on the album version. Have fun playing this, as it sounds great!


Intro:
------
Begin with this.
(Clean or distorted, your choice).
e|-0----0----0--------------|
B|-0----1----1--------------|
G|-0----0----0--------------|
D|-2----2----2--------------|
A|-2----2----2--------------|
E|-0----0----0--------------|

Then into the proper intro.
(Clean-ish).
e|-------------------------|
B|-------------------------|
G|-------------------------|
D|-2----4--5----7--7--9----| x2
A|-2----4--5----7--7--9----|
E|-0----2--3----5--5--7----|

Tremolo picking.
(Distortion).
e|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|-7--9--10----12--10--9--7--6----| 
E|--------------------------------|

e|----------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|-7---6-7-9---7-9-10---9-10-12--10--9--7--6----| 
E|----------------------------------------------|

e|-------------------|
B|-------------------|
G|-------------------|
D|-----------------2-|
A|-----------------2-|
E|-19/-------------0-|

For this next part, play the note once and bend 
back and forth quickly with the vibrato bar.
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------|
D|-5----4--2--0----2--4--5----4--2--0-|
A|------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|

e|------------------------------------|

G|-8----5--0--7----8----7--5--3----7----5--3--5----3--1--3----4----5-|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Now it's just straightforward tremolo picking for the next part.
e|-11----10--8--6----8--10--11----10--8--6----7----8--10--8----11--13--14----13--14--15-|

E|-----------------------------------------------|

Verse:
------

e-7---7-------8---7----7----8----7----7----7-| Play the last chord a few 
B--8---7-----8----8----7----8----8----7----8-| times distorted then slide down
G---9---8---9-----7----8----9----7----8----9-| for intro section again.
D--------------------------------------------|

G|----------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|-7---6-7-9---7-9-10---9-10-12--10--9--7--6----| 
E|----------------------------------------------|

e|-20/---------------0---| When Matt plays live he does the
B|-------------------0---| slide down on the low e, not the
G|-------------------0---| high e, but i prefer using the high e.
D|-----------------2-2---| Also, Play the last chord a few
A|-----------------2-2---| times then palm mute a few times
E|-----------------0-0---| and then stop all noise (for now).

Start this after "...must fight to survive."

As you let the last chord ring, slowly bend down with the
vibrato bar as far as it will go and fade into silence.

That's it. Enjoy!
