Title: Falling Down
Album: Showbiz
Artist: Muse
*This is all my own work*
This song has weird tuning. Or I have weird hearing, because to get it to
sound the same as on the album, you have to tune the guitar down slightly,
about half a note. But it really doesn't matter if you're not playing along
to the cd.
I'm only going to tab out the first verse and the chorus, as I don't think
that it is really necessary to tab out all verses, as they are all pretty
much the same except for a few subtle differences. I doubt that Matt ever
plays it the exact same way twice, and I know that I play it slightly
differently every time. If anything, there is less guitar in subsequent
verses, as the piano takes over a bit. Am I babbling?
Intro/verse
(Play 3 times, except for last 3 notes which aren't played 3rd time)

Hope this helps.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MUSE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
