Flux Acoustic Tab

by Bloc Party



This is a bit of a difficult song to tab out in terms of chords!

The chords do go with the song.. but if you play it without the song in the background 
kinda get more of a feel where i'm coming from with these chords.. I hope anyway.. i 
wanna write a shitty tab, cuz that's a waste of every1's time!

Standard Tuning

Chords:
            
e|--4---4---5---7---2--------------------------------------------------|
B|--5---4---5---7---2--------------------------------------------------|
G|--6---4---6---8---2--------------------------------------------------|
D|--6---4---6---9---4--------------------------------------------------|
A|--4---6---7---9---4--------------------------------------------------|
E|--4---4---5---7---2--------------------------------------------------|


Chords are the same all the way through the verses and chorus.

TIP FOR STRUMMING:

VERSES:

The way i play it is to strum D = Down DDDDDDDDDDD quite quick all the way through the 
to try recreate the tempo of the song

CHORUS:

For the chorus, i usually mix it up a bit, i add in a fair bit of 'chucking' just to 
it up a bit, but just make it your own!


Verse:
                               
If your right hand is causing you pain
                  
Cut it off, cut it off
                             
If your colours have started to run
                               
Let them all run, run away from you


                       
There is lightning in this room
                          
Above our heads, waiting to strike
                    
I'm a thinker not a talker
                          
Put your faith, your faith in God

Chorus:

                  
We were hoping for some romance
                
All we found was more despair
                 
We must talk about our problems
               
We are in a state of flux

Verse:

             
I'd kill for an adventure
                             
Just you and I, in the Curzon Bar
             
Dancing till we knew
                        
So all that we've learnt disappears

                 
When you shouted at me
                             
I saw my father in the second grade
           
Concerned and kind
                   
Yet unable to reach me


                  
We were hoping for some romance
                
All we found was more despair
                 
We must talk about our problems
               
We are in a state of flux

REPEAT VERSE CHORDS


We need to talk (X 5 TIMES) *REPEAT CHORUS CHORDS*


                  
We were hoping for some romance
                
All we found was more despair
                 
We must talk about our problems
               
We are in a state of flux



Cheers.
