Bass tabs
Tulips - Bloc Party ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By : imessyou e-mail: [email protected] Tuning: standard PLEASE NOTE: There are currently two versions of this song. One can be downloaded from the Bloc Party website and one can be found on the "Bloc Party EP". THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT SONGS. The version from the website is only 3:42 long and is less "dance like". The song I am tabbing is the other version which happens to last for 5:25(imho the better version). The two songs do contain some likeness of riffs however, just mixed up and in different rhythms. Thank you Work out the rhythms for yourselves by listening to the track Intro Riff (Kicks in after drumbeat) G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------10-10-10-10-10-10-10---9--| E|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---------------------7----| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------------------------------------------| E|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-2--------| Verse Riff G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------10-10-10-10-10-10-10---9-| E|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------------7---| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-2--------| Back to Intro Riff G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------10-10-10-10-10-10-10---9--| E|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---------------------7----| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------------------------------------------| E|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-2--------| Verse Riff G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------10-10-10-10-10-10-10---9-| E|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------------7---| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-2--------| Chorus Riff G|-------------7-------------7----------------------------------------------| D|-7-9-9-9-9-9---7-9-9-9-9-9---7-9-7-7-7-7-7-----7--7-7-7-7-----5-5-5-5-5-5-| A|-------------------------------------------7-9------------7-9-------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus Riff continued G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------------------------------| A|-5-7-------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------5-5-5-5-0-0-0-0----------------------| On the fourth time through the chorus riff it stops early like this G|-------------7-------------7----------------------------------------------| D|-7-9-9-9-9-9---7-9-9-9-9-9---7-9-7-7-7-7-7-----7--7-7-7-7-----------------| A|-------------------------------------------7-9------------7-9-5-----------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| The Bass stops while the vocal harmonies take place.
