Know Your Quarry - Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
CAPO 4th FRET
Tabbed by Jack Cookson (Torn Asunder)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check out my profile for an MP3 of me playing this, but please note in the
recording I'm playing it with a capo on the 3rd fret to make it easier for me
to sing it. Having a capo on the 4th fret would be the way that Simon Neil 
plays it.

Intro Chords:

Listen to the song for the changes...

Em  D  x2

Verse 1:
Em            D
 When I was young
Em                       D
 I first encountered my crippled lungs
Em           D
 I felt them burn
     C                   D
And cursed them ever since

Verse 2:
Em             D
 I was turning blue
Em                    D              
 In a match right in front of you
        C              D
And I slithered to the floor
 Bm
Hope I score some more

Pre-chorus:
Am      Em            D          Em
I won't go where the sun doesn't shine
   Am            Em            D      C
Go crazy in the evening if we sail upright
Am        Em             D              Em
Love is a shadow in the brightness it dies

Chorus:
         C                Am
Because tonight, we raise the sun
        Em                   Dsus4 D
And we shine it over everyone
       C         Am
If we want a gradual hush
     Em                           Dsus4 D
Our lips should kiss each other so...
C              Am             Em  Dsus4 D
I just want to feel your body
C             Am               Em  Dsus4 D
I want you to know your quarry

Verse 3:
Em              D
 You can see the world
Em                    D
 Looking down from a different universe
Em                  D                     
 Can we save every single one of them
   C              D
We only have five hands

Verse 4:
Em                D
 My father cradled us
Em                           D
 We're bright blue and we're covered in blood
    C                       D
We staggered through the door
 Bm
Trouble is taking score

Pre-chorus:
Am      Em            D          Em
I won't go where the sun doesn't shine
   Am            Em            D      C
Go crazy in the evening if we sail upright
Am        Em             D              Em
Love is a shadow in the brightness it dies

Chorus:
         C                Am
Because tonight, we raise the sun
        Em                   Dsus4 D
And we shine it over everyone
       C         Am
If we want a gradual hush
     Em                           Dsus4 D
Our lips should kiss each other so...
C              Am             Em  Dsus4 D
I just want to feel your body
C             Am               Em  Dsus4 D
I want you to know your quarry

 I want you to

Know your quarry    x2
