Storm & Stress (Acoustic) - Bloc Party
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not a Bloc party fan at all... But this is a lovely song.
I have doubts over wheter the strumming part is bang on -
in fact, I'm pretty sure it isn't - but it sounds damn close.

The other tab here has this down as being played by two guitars,
but I'm not convinced that's actually the case (I may very well
be wrong however :D). Either way, this allows you to play it
by yourself & sound pretty close to the recording.

Enjoy.
