Song: Hysteria
Artist: Muse
Album: Absolution

This is as close as I got to perfect, I have the guitar instrumental of
this song, and I'm pretty sure that this is as good as it gets.. hope you
agree!

Edit - You think this looks different to last time you looked at this tab?
       Yeah - I formatted it quite a bit (and made a few corrections).

[Intro]
 - scratch your plectrum up the E string as below

G|------------

E|--1//////3//

--------------
