Very rough chords for Scary Mary by Biffy Clyro. They're probably mostly wrong, as this 
is my first tab, but I got fed up with there being no chords for this song on the site.
Feel free to comment and correct these, or use them as a guideline to work out the 
chords for yourself... or just ignore them if they're too bad :P
Listen to the song to work out the strumming pattern - it's fairly simple :)
Thanks! T.
