Hunting for Witches Bloc Party
-A WEEKEND IN THE CITY-
****TAB CREATED FROM FUZZY LIVE VERSIONS DIFFERENT TO RECORDED PRE RELEASE DATE AND
ARE DIFFRENT TO STUDIO - VERSION 4 IS CORRECT TO THE STUDIO RECORDING***
I have transcribed this from various youtube videos so there are some problems
parts and some parts may have been improvised or different on the upcoming album. I
most of
is correct or if i was unsure i have put more possibillities down. The rhythm by Kele in
is more or less unhearable on Youtube, so i have put the chords that the
implies.
If you have any suggestions or questions don't hesitate to email me at oli_turtle@hotmail.com
*also sorry f there are any allignment problems i shall try to update once it is
as i have written this using a mac which hasn't previously translated correctly positionly.
Intro - either digging down on the strings muted, fast harmonics/ artificial harmonics
more likely a wild effect pedal, or even a combination of all of them! Very hard to
here so i won't bother andwill leave that part to your imagination.

E-----------------| A-7-7--2-2-2--4---| D-9-9--4-4-4--6---| G-9-9--4-4-4--6---| B-----------------| E-----------------|
CHORUS: SOUNDS VERY DISTORTED ON VERSIONS I'VE HEARD BUT THE RHYTHM IS JUST PLAYING THE
AND LEAD IS STILL SOLOING
[D5] [B5] [Gb5]
[A5] (May play with root note
4th Fret E String
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--9--9- -9--9--9--9--9--9-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----| D-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----| G-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----| B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
REALLY BAD QUALITY BUT NOW I THINK I CAN JUST ABOUT HEAR THE FOLLOWING FROM THE LEAD
Fsharpm9 (I think)
E---------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9-9----| D-------------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7----| G-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9-9-----| B-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-10-10--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-10-9-----| E---------------------------------------------------------------------|
I may be wrong and the chord could be an Fsharpmadd9 like in Forget Her by Jeff Buckley.
Fsharpm add9
[E--]
[A-9]
[D-7]
[G-6]
[B-9]
[E--]
Then after repeating this two times it goes changes
~=tremelo picking i.e play same note very fast jonny greenwood style. This part may be
with unison bends but i don't think so, so i'll leave that up to you.
E--------------------------------------| A----------9---------------------------| D----------7---------------------------| G----------9----------4----------------| 4~~~~~~~~~~~ etc. B-7~9~ 10~ 9--7~9~10~------------------| E--------------------------------------|
Then the cool solo
RIFF
E-4-4-5-5-7-7-5-5-4-4-5-5-7-7--| x4 A------------------------------| D------------------------------| G------------------------------| B------------------------------| E------------------------------|
LEAD-A bit like an elephant
E---------------------------------------| A---------------------------------------| D---------------------------------------| G---------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------| E-12b14r12--14b15r14-15b17r15-14b15r14--| x2
Then back into verse and then chorus again.
Then it ends with the crazy noise.
