Here's my tab for Bloc Party's Song For Clay, off the new album. It's... nearly perfect, I guess.

|Intro|
'''''''
 
       Bbm           F           F#      C#   G#
'I am trying to be heroic in an age of modernity
 
      Bbm           F                 F#          D#m   D#m7
I am trying to be heroic 'cause all around me history sits
 
      Bbm           F                 D#m         C#   C#M
So I enjoyed and I devoured flesh and wine and luxury
 
          Bbm          F               F#      F#
But in my heart I am lukewarm, nothing ever really touches...

Guitar 2
I guess it's not possible to play it exactly as it's in the album, so, just use a wah
or pitch shifter -1 to mess around on this first bit.

nice
What is the correct way to play the chorus for guitar 2? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
I think the chord above for Bbm is wrong. It should be: e-1 B-2 G-3 D-3 A-1 E-1
