Waiting For The 7 18 tab by Bloc Party

Bloc Party
A Weekend In The City

Tabbed By Jim Files (jimfiles@iprimus.com.au)

Forgive me if this tab is a bit hard to understand but it was tricky figure out and has
few different little parts often overlapping
so i did my best. Nothing else out there for this song yet anyway so i hope its
Cheers


Intro/Verse

This is gordy on the xylophone arranged for guitar, russel is also playing something in
background with a few
effects on his guitar but i'm not quite sure what it is

Chorus
Both kele and russ are using tremolo picking here i jist haven't shown every single note
so tremolo pick
for the duration shown, listen to the cd and you should pick it up no worries

Kele

Bridge
This is the "Lets Drive To Brighton" bit, which is probably the hardest to tab, russell
just playing
the same chorus riff above, while i'm not sure about kele so ive just put in the chords,
maybe
it's just gordy playing these notes on the bass and kele is playing some really high
but if he is
it's very hard to hear

There is one repeats of this bridge then this solo-ish bit by russell and kele

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------13--------15-------17------|
|----------------------------------------------8--10---8---11--10-----11--13---15-----------------------------------|

|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then the same guitar above goes straight into some more remolo picking

B||--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
G||--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
D||--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
A||--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
E||--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|

while the other guitar plays russells same chorus riff again, then back into the bridge
more then play this outro twice
while that same chorus riff is still going
