Those are the chords, strum pattern is up to you.
I end up strumming each chord 15 times and letting the 8th strum ring a bit.
After 2nd chorus..

P.M.
Palm mute the final chord before going back into the main riff and that's it!
And that's my first tab!
Pretty easy song, riffs are sort of repetitive. This is one of the few Bloc Party songs where
Kele and Russell pretty much play the same thing together on both guitars.
Wish there was a solo in this song, but they decided to keep it simple.
Email me if you think there should be any changes. x
