------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bubbles - Biffy Clyro ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: steveprudden Tuning: Drop C# (Drop D then half a step down) This is my favourite song off the new album. I really wanted to know how to play that cool intro and chorus bit so had to work it out for myself. I figured I had worked out the hard bit so tried to finish the whole song. There are a couple of bits missing and I know for a fact that some of the phrasing is incorrect but I plan on making corrections as I work it out. Additional thanks to jamest54.
