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.

Same as first verse.
As... pretty much everyone, I couldn't tab the apparently dubbed bit over this sorry :(.
can barely hear it.

At [2:14], there is a dubbed guitar:
e|-9-9-9----------6---|
B|-------9--6--9----9-|
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|
The rest of the chorus is the same as the first, except the last bars the second time are instead:

[Final Verse/Solo]
(2:47)
The verse riff is played 4 times, then continuously over Russell's solo, finishing with Kele playing:
e|-----|
B|-----|
G|-----|
D|-----|
A|-8-\-|
E|-6-\-|
Here's the solo, played over Kele's backing verse chords. It sounds pretty right, I'm
100% sure about one part of it though.

LYRICS
[Verse]
A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I can give you life, I can take it away
A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I'm working it out
Why'd you feel so underrated?
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...

omg this is awesome
i luv it when ppl take the extra time to tab out both guitars
b/c i usually like the learn the rhythm first and then the lead just to get the basic beat down and the timeing
i didnt learn russell's part yet but i will soon enough
and from what i see it looks just as good as kele's
awesome tab
5 stars
+4

That's ok siemen. This is how I thought it's played, it sounds pretty accurate, though Russell often puts confusing bits
in.
josepharmillei, if you have 4 arms, yes.

Awesome song.
The chorus, bridge and solo are all slightly off though.
If you listen to the CD very carefully, you can hear Russell playing 5 or 6 different chords in less then 10 secs in the chorus. I got the tabbook, but it's just too much work to post corrections. Sorry ;)
