Banquet

Text File

Banquet by Bloc Party (off the album "Silent Alarm", 2005) Standard tuning (both guitars) I've seen this tabbed a few times before and they all seem slightly wrong. This sounds perfect to me... criticism accepted :). Note that the best way to play this chords is to them just after they're played, to stop them ringing. Kele's guitar is rhythm, in the right speaker, and Russell's guitar is lead, in the left. _____________________________________________________________________________ INTRO[0:13]

Why'd you feel so negated? Chorus Turning away from the light Becoming adult Turning into my soul I wanted to bite not destroy To feel her underneath Turning into the light Verse She don't think straight No no no, she don't think straight She's got such a dirty mind and it never ever stops And you don't taste like her and you never ever will And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled (Chorus) Bridge And if you feel a little left behind I will see you on the other side And if you feel a little left behind We will readily walk the other side (?) Verse/Solo Cos I'm on fire I'm on fire when you come Cos you know I'm on fire Cos you know I'm on fire so stub me out Cos I'm on fire... _____________________________________________________________________________ Key: / - Slide up \ - Slide down b - Bend r - Return x - Mute PM - Palm mute ~ - Let ring/vibrato h - Hammer-on p - Pull-off - Harmonic -\ - Parts tied together, played at the same time | | -/
