'Take A Bow' by Muse

Tabbed by Dave Price-Williams

I've tabbed the synthesiser intro, arranged for guitar. The other tab was good but
had to be adapted in order to be played anywhere near fast enough. I also made
clearer the chord changes, as I just got dizzy looking at the other one!

TIME SIGNATURE: 3/4 or arguably 12/16
