Soldier's Poem - Muse


Hi.  After seeing many incorrect tabs of "Soldier's Poem" by Muse, I
decided to sit down and figure it out myself.  There are a lot of parts
on the record where the bass and guitar harmonize, and one clearly stands 
out.  So,while this may not be the exact transcription of the guitar 
part on the recording, it's as close as you can get with one guitar.

Enjoy!

Repeat Part A for the following lyrics:

How could you send 
us all far away from home 
when you know damn well 
that this is all 
I would still lay down my life for you and do
you think you deserve your freedom
