Tulips - Bloc Party
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed By : imessyou
e-mail: jimmyloo78@hotmail.com

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

🎸
