Stingin Belle Chords & Tabs
Biffy Clyro - Stingin' Belle
Tuning: Drop C# - (C# G# C# F# A# D#)
I have not put in the exactly amount of Chords, nor the prescise Rhythms as
they're fairly straight-forward,
plus if you can't work them out you shouldn't be playing BIFFY!!!
(Side-Note: I think there is a quick D at the end of the Second Verse before going
into the Chorus. Listen to song to hear.)

(THOUGH I CAN IN NO WAY TELL WHETHER SIMON PLAYS LIKE THIS, I DO KNOW THESE ARE
CHORDS HE LIKES TO USE WHEN IN DROP D.
IT IS UNCERTAIN WHETHER HE WOULD USE THEM WHEN PLAYING IN THIS TUNING)
