Machines - Biffy Clyro - Puzzle
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Tabbed by Jack Cookson (Torn Asunder)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I noticed that some of the other versions of this song were missing chords
so I thought I'd give it a shot at doing my own. I worked this out completely
by ear, so no copying involved. It's around 99% correct I'd say, hope you
enjoy playing this amazing song.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chords used:
Don't play the strings marked with an 'x'
E5 (022xxx)
G5 (355xxx)
C5 (x355xx)
D5 (xx023x)
Em7 (022033)
G (320033)
Cadd9 (x32033)
Dsus4 (xx0233)
Asus4 (x02233)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Simon doesn't always hit the high E string on the bottom 5 chords
on the list. A lot of the time he only plays up to the B string but it
still sounds good if you play the high E too, it just depends on what kind of
a build up you want to have.
