Do We Need This? - Muse
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Paul McDermott
Tuning: Eadgbe
There wasn�t any sort of guitar tab for this (which was quite surprising considering its
out 8 years and its such a good song) so I thought I�d try and tab it myself. I owe a
of this to the bass tab but I�ve come up with the guitar parts.
The timings a bit tricky so you�ll probably have to listen to the song a bit.
Intro: Percussion-then (0:24) (Possibly Piano)
