The Maccabees

Dinosaurs - The Maccabees

From the brilliant album, Wall Of Arms.
There was no chords or tabs online so worked it out.
Its Fairly straight-forward to play, just listen for chord changes.
This is my first tab but the chords sound good,
I will try to post the lead parts whenever I can get around to it..... Enjoy.

Please rate and feedback would be good.

Chords:

C#m | x 4 6 6 5 4

|
E | x 7 9 9 9 7

Also I think higher A, G#m and F#m chords sound better at points, which are:

A* | x 12 14 14 14 12

G#m*| x 11 13 13 12 11
|
F#m*| x 9 11 11 10 9
