Bloc Party
Tulips
Little Thoughts EP
I've been looking for a tab for this song for ages, but have only found reference to
the Minotaur Shock Remix. So I thought I'd do it myself, this is the original version
which is far better. I really need some help on the outro, and most of it general needs
sorting out, but this is a base for it - any improvements would be great! This is a
beautiful song by Bloc Party, and I hope the tab does it justice - enjoy!
