POSITIVE TENSION - Bloc Party
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed By : Daft_evader
e-mail: Daft_evader[at]hotmail[dot]com
Tuning: Standard (EADG)
This is the main bass riff that runns through most of the song, listen to pick up the rhythm.
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-3---3-----1-3---1-3---------3---1-3---------------------------------------|
E|---------3-----------------------------------------------------------------|
At 2:34 (as Kele sings 'the reckoning') The bass stops and rests for 8 lines. The bass
comes back in with:
G|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-3-3-3----------------------5-5-5-5-----------------------------------------|
E|---------3-3-3---4-4-4--1-1-------------------------------------------------|
This riff is played 8 times until 3:22(Kele sings 'so fucking useless').
Then play the following (i cant be bothered to count the notes so just listen for the chord changes):
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-3>>----------------------5---5------3>>--------1>>-3>>--------------------|
E|---------3>>---4>>-1>>-------------------3>>-4>>---------------------------|
Finnish with the main riff 4 more times.
I play the main riff as
E--8-8-5h6-8-6-8-8-6-8-6-8
It seems to fit better to me
Main Riff is the same but with A1 on the end of the second part.
D 33-1-3-1-3---------3---1-3-1
E --3-------------------------
And it's not when he sings "the reckoning". "And they go".
