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.

And pulls us up towards her
DTake your shoes off, feel the earth
Beneath your feet respond to touch
DAnd let our laughter now ring forth
As the love consumes us
