The Suburbs Arcade Fire
Song: The Suburbs
Album: The Suburbs
I am filling in the rest. I have not seen this closely enough at the show to say
for sure, but you need either 2 guitars or a guitar and piano.
Since there are already lyrical accompaniment versions, I am providing the basic
order/song structure.
Guitar 1 - Capo 2
Guitar 2 - No capo
Intro: C Am E G
*Verse 1
-------
[C] In the suburbs [Am]I, [E] I learned to[G] drive
And you [C]told me we?d never sur[Am]vive,[E] grab your mother?s [G]keys we?re leaving
[C] [Am] [E] [G]
[C] You always seemed so [Am]sure,[E] That one [G]day we?d be fighting
[C] In a suburban[Am] war,[E] your part of [G]town against mine
I saw you [C]standing on the opposite [Am]shore, but by the [E]time the[G] first bombs fell
[C]We were already [Am]bored,[E] We were already, [G]already bored
*Chorus 1
--------
Play it like this if you wish to remain at capo 2
[C] Sometimes I [Am]can?t believe it,[E] I?m moving [D]past the feeling
[C] Sometimes I [Am]can?t believe it,[E] I?m moving [D]past the feeling [C]again[Am] [E] [G]
*Chorus 1 Alternate
Guitar 2 / Piano - No capo (sounds correct)
--------------------------
[A] Sometimes I [Bm]can?t believe it,[F#] I?m moving p[E]ast the feeling
[A] Sometimes I [Bm]can?t believe it,[F#] I?m moving p[E]ast the feeling a[A]gain[Bm] [F#] [E]
*Accompany 1
Guitar 2 with variation

or...play it like this, a bit harder but the slides sound more accurate.
