Machines - Biffy Clyro - Puzzle
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)

I noticed that some of the other versions of this song were missing chords
so I thought I'd give it a shot at doing my own. I worked this out completely
by ear, so no copying involved. It's around 99% correct I'd say, hope you
enjoy playing this amazing song.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Simon doesn't always hit the high E string on the bottom 5 chords
on the list. A lot of the time he only plays up to the B string but it
still sounds good if you play the high E too, it just depends on what kind of
a build up you want to have.

(Listen to the song to get the chord changes)
