Bridge - The actual bridge is placed as 32th notes, which is too fast for guitar so these 
are the

Outro - I'm not sure that this is how its played but I think I've got
the chords right whether four of them are played or one I'm not sure, but
it can't be too hard to figure out.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Chuck Average	#1 by Chuck Norris at Dec 12, 1970 at 11:41 AM EST
	great fist song to an awesome cd

No Picture Average	#2 by Fig at Feb 26, 1986 at 4:06 PM EST
	I believe this song is about the world leaders at the moment and the decisions they are making. For example, the line "Proclaim eternal victory" would be in relation to the leaders thoughts that winning a war is a victory! Winning a war is NOT a victory, it is just an ending of something tragic! If these world leaders keep seeing winning wars as "victories" then we are all screwed! Muse sarcastically asks for "Apocalypse Please?" This asks the question of whether the world leaders actually wish for the world to end, because the way they keep going about things it looks like the end is not far off!

No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#3 by Chris Marcoux at Nov 9, 1993 at 2:58 PM EST
	simple concept, great outcome this song is defining and expected of the band

No Picture Austin Wanna Be	#4 by Austin Skitowski at Sep 9, 1997 at 11:28 AM EST
	it's the instruments in this song at the begging that make it good and when its gets to this is the end this is the ened of the world and a bit into the song it gets crazy its brilliant

No Picture Dan Wanna Be	#5 by Dan Z at May 21, 1999 at 7:51 PM EST

No Picture jordan Porreca Lead Player	#6 by jordan Porreca porreca at Feb 24, 2006 at 4:46 PM EST
	Doesn't anyone know what "Apocalypse" means...?? It means the end of the world therefore this is a song about wanting the end of the world to come.

No Picture Jer Average	#7 by Jer at Sep 25, 2006 at 9:34 AM EST
	I think it's about people being scared of change, and love every thing the way it is. They love they're petrol powered cars, they're tv's, computers. We're living in our own little comforted world, and the cost of reality. I don't exactly what Matt is trying to say, but it seems like he wants these things to change, when you think about it, he's quite a cynical person. All three albums (not including hullabaloo) seem to show his cynisism in one way or another.
