Muse - Bliss Acoustic

to see a nice live performance to learn from a bit , youtube bliss at eurockennes in
it is very helpful to make the song flow at its best .

in the studio version , this is done on a synth ( obviously ) , but in live performances , he
this little doodle instead of chords :

– – 11 – – – – – – – – – 10 – – – – – – – – – – – 13 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
– – – – – 13 – – – – – – – – – – 11 – – – – – – – – – – – 13 – – – – – – – – – – – |
– – – – – – – – 12 – – – – – – – – – – – 10 – – – – – – – – – – – 13 – – – – – – – |
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
^that’s the Cm . . . A# . . . . Fm

in beat language , if this is in 8/4 , you each of those notes is the first three
of an eight beat measure , you play seven measures .

after that doodle , he plays the exact same thing , but using chords . very nice effect .

Cm A# Fm Cm A# Fm Cm

Cm A# Fm Cm
everything about you is how i wanna be
A# Fm Cm
your freedom comes naturally
Cm A# Fm Cm
everything about you resonates happiness
A# Fm Cm
now i won’t settle for less

C Am C C Am
Fm
give me all the peace and joy in your mind

* * now for this part , you can play the normal chords at the end of the guitar . in the
version , he plays the C like so :

– – – 0 – – – – |
– – – 8 – – – – |
– – – 9 – – – – |
– – – 10 – – – |
– – – 10 – – – |
x – – – – – – – |

* * and he plays the Am with the power chord :
– – – 5 – – – – |
– – – 5 – – – – |
– – – 5 – – – – |
– – – 7 – – – – |
– – – 7 – – – – |
– – – 5 – – – – |

* * he returns to the open E chord , and then to the fully barred Fm .

Cm A# Fm Cm A# Fm Cm

the doodle .
