              Notes: This is the acoustic version of Bloc Partys single, Banquet 
Its easy to play and sounds spot on. put a capo on fret 1, that'll  
make it in tune with the CD and it sounds much better that way.

           Am               Dm          C          F

           Am               Dm      C              F 
   And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news

   Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled

   Turning into my soul 
Am                      C/B  C 
   I wanted to bite not destroy 
               F    F/G
