Tabs

Bloc Party

Tabbed By: Jim Files ([email protected])
My favourite song off their brilliant new album, no other tabs out there yet so thought

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.
