Notes:
1. This TAB doesn't pretend to capture all wonderful and bizarre subtletities of this song.
Other than the principal chords of this song.
2. Inspired by (Haiti)'s rara music, Butler and Chassagne incorporated elements of this
sound into the band's new material, alongside Jamaican influences. Butler stated, "I
mean, it's not like our band trying to play Haitian music. I just felt like we were
opened up to a new influence. Bob Marley probably felt the same way the first time he heard
Curtis Mayfield?"
