The Maccabees — Dinosaurs Chords

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.

jackcoy_2@hotmail.com for anything.

G#m*| x 11 13 13 12 11
    |
