Biffy Clyro - 9/15ths
From the album: Puzzle
Tuning: Drop C
I'm 99.9% sure this is how Simon plays it (live, anyhow).
The intro violin is at the bottom.
I've tried to tab out the rhythm, because it's difficult to figure it out alone, but there could be
a few mistakes.
This song is really fun to play, so enjoy!
