This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
Stars and Shites
Biffy Clyro
Tabbed by Martin Gill
Should be pretty much perfect.
Sounds really nice fingerpicked...
STANDARD TUNING (eadgbe)
Intro:
(Thanks 57 varieties)
"I'd like to be, a soldier of war..."
--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12-| ---------------------------------|
14--14--11--11--10--10--12--12---| Just repeat until the main part starts
---------------------------------| ---------------------------------| ---------------------------------|
1st Verse:
The picking patterns are quite hard to tab but I'll try my best,
the notes are all here you may have to mess around with them a bit tough.
"I'd like to be a soldier of war..."

Do this bit twice then the verse again...
Chorus:
I'll call this the chorus... The last part of the chorus can just be
played as 8 on the bottom string but I've tabbed a little variation that can be heard.
"Now the stars don't shine and the birds don't sing anymore... It's not the same..."

Outro:
Played till the end of the song, the hardest part of the song but the nicest sounding...
"These are small victories"
--------------------------------| --7-----7-----7-----8-----10----| ----0-----0-----0-----0-----0---| --------------------------------| 7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7-| --------------------------------| --------------------------------| --7-----7-----7-----8-----10----| ----0-----0-----0-----0-----0---| --------------------------------| 5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-| --------------------------------| --------------10----8-----7-----| --10----8-----------------------| ----0-----0-----0-----0-----0---| You may find it easier if you get
--------------------------------| that bottom 8 With your thumb.
--------------------------------| 8-----8-----8-----8-----8-----8-|
