Artist: Biffy Clyro
Song: Victory Over The Sun
Album: Opposites
Ok here goes, this is my first tab so be gentle
Biffy's new album is amazing and this is definitely one of the best songs on it,
so figured it needed a solid tab - I've tried to go through every single part and
make sure it matches, but overall it works even if there are mistakes - please
comment if you find any
