                    Lonely Revolutions - Biffy Clyro
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: steveprudden

Tuning: Drop C# (Drop D then half a step down)

Along with Party On and Toottoottoot (which should be tabbed later) this is one
of my favourite new b-sides. It's a pretty simple song so I'm sure this tab is
almost perfect.
Of course you could play it in drop D (just play everthing a fret lower), even
standard tuning would be easy enough but Biffy tend to play in Drop C#.
As always please let me know if there are any corrections that need to be made.
