Muse - Ruled By Secrecy

ruled by secrecy – muse

this is a way of playing this song using easy open but accurate chords .
its up to you whether you want to strum , flatpick / alternate pick whatever .
you will need a capo at fret 1 , an open Em shape gives you the opening chord
of F minor , so the chords below are the actual chord names not shape names ,
remember your capo is on fret 1 , which now plays open strings , and that now
an indicated “2” is actually fret 3 and “4” is fret 5 etc .

capo fret 1 . chords used ( in order of appearance ) capo fret 1 .
