Tabs
Bloc Party
A augmentedA Weekend In The City
Tabbed By: Jim Files ([email protected])
My favourite song off their brilliant new album, no other tabs out there yet so thought
do a quick one
p.s. im not sure whereabouts this is played on the guitar (maybe lower on the neck) but
ok, i haven't seen much live stuff on this song.
Comments & corrections welcome, cheers.
