--------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLUE BLOOD - Foals --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: DaveS Tuning: Standard Loving the new album... Just a heads up... They’re using a load of loops on this track (and on the whole of TLF in general) but the two guitars play as best as I can make out.
