Citizen Erased - Muse off the album Origin of Symmetry. This is just a tab of how Matt plays it live not too many differences just a few changes in riffs and in the guitar solo. It is played on a 7 string guitar live but I don't own one so i have just tabbed this for a 6 string guitar tuned down to drop A.
