Arcade Fire – The Suburbs (Guitar Tab)

Artist: 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 2 - No capo. [Intro] C Am E G [Verse 1] C Am E G In the suburbs I, I learned to drive C Am E G And you told me we’d never survive, grab your mother’s keys we’re leaving C Am E G C Am E G You always seemed so sure, That one day we’d be fighting C Am E G In a suburban war, your part of town against mine C Am E G I saw you standing on the opposite shore, but by the time the first bombs fell C Am E G We were already bored, We were already, already bored [Chorus 1] (play it like this if you wish to remain at capo 2) C Am E D Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling C Am E D C Am E G Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling again [Chorus 1 Alternate] (guitar 2 / piano - no capo) (sounds correct) A Bm F# E Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling A Bm F# E A Bm F# E Sometimes I can’t believe it, I’m moving past the feeling again [Accompany 1]
