This is a tab for the Lead Guitar part to "Secrets" off
"Another Weekend In The City"
I know this tab is NOT 100% Correct, especially with the 1st and 2d Verse. If any part
doesn't sound right please post a correction
instead of a negative comment or a low rating, so I can fix the tab and make it 100% correct.

NOTE: I did not tab the intro Myself, all Credit goes to "The Alchemist" from his
tabbing of the intro to this song,
Which is here: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/b/bloc_party/secrets_intro_tab.htm

1ST VERSE: (0:56 - 1:19)
-------------------------
This part seems nearly correct to me. REPEAT 4 TIMES

CHORUS: (1:20 - 1:40)
----------------------
I found two ways of playing the Chorus..both sound good when playing with the song.
Use Heavy Delay when playing the Chorus part
1ST WAY. All notes tremolo picked
e|--------------------------|B|--7---8-7--5--3-----5-----|G|--------------------------| X4D|--------------------------|A|--------------------------|E|--------------------------|
2d way.. Also using tremolo picking (I prefer this way, it matches the melody much more)e|----------------------------------------------------------------------|B|--7---5---3---5---7--5--3-----5--------7---5---3---5---7--8--7-----5--|G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| X2D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
(1:40 - 2:03) Repeat Intro..
(2:04 - 2:18)e|----------------------------|B|---------------------7b-----|G|---9--9b-------------9b-----|D|----------------------------|A|----------------------------|E|----------------------------|
(2:27 - 2:49) Repeat 1st Verse
CHORUS 2: (2:50 - 3:33)
--------------------------
Same as 1st chorus except twice as long, Also using Heavy Delay
e|--------------------------|B|--7---8-7--5--3-----5-----|G|--------------------------| X8D|--------------------------|A|--------------------------|E|--------------------------|
2d way..
