Victory Over the Sun Tabs & Lyrics by Biffy Clyro
Victory Over the Sun
guitar tabs lyrics
This is a new song from their yet to be released 'The Land at the End of Our Toes and
The Sand at the Core of Our Bones' double album.
There are obviously no tabs up yet because the album hasn't come out yet, but I've
figured it out from watching the videos on YouTube of them performing it at Download 2012. It
may not be 100% perfect, but I'm pretty sure it's 99% correct. I hope this is useful, enjoy!

doesn't sound right, play about with it and see what sounds best to you, although I am
certain I have tabbed this 99% correctly.
