The Suburbs

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 1 - Capo 2
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
Guitar 2 with variation

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

*Outro - Guitar 1
------
E           D                C     Am
 I'm moving past the feeling again
E           D                C     Am
 I'm moving past the feeling again


C Am E G x2

       G                  C         Am E
 In my dreams we're still screaming
G                      C Am E 
 We're still screaming
G                      C Am E 
 We're still screaming

C Am E G x2
C

*Solo 1 (4:37) Repeat x 4. On the 4th, do not play the last 2 notes.
