Semi Mental Chords & Tabs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Tom
Tuning: DADGBE
New Song 'Semi-Mental' by Biffy Clyro. Single out TOMORROW Xmas Day, download only.
This was tabbed from the radio version, album one may be different.
The interlude/solo bit is very scrappy, though chords are right.
Begins with an A with FX on it.
