Bloc Party
Storm and Stress (Acoustic)
Tuned 1/2 Step Down
This song can be found on the Silent Alarm Remixed Bonus Disc along with an acoustic
version of Plans. The bridge is the only questionable part. Maybe let the high e and
b strings ring open to fill it in a bit. Otherwise, this tab sounds fine to me.
