Biffy Clyro - Machines (Puzzle)
STANDARD TUNING

Transcribed by Miranda Harding (muckquaiker@gmail.com)

This is a really rough guide to the song, the chords aren't in the exact place and I 
put the rhythm in, but it's easy enough to figure out by yourself.

It's a great song, off a great album. Mon the Biffy.

I would dig a thousand holes to lay next to you
