After listening to the awesome new Arcade Fire album I had to learn how to play the title track. Here's my rendition.

You can find the lyrics and listen to the original song here:
http://www.arcadefire.com/lyrics/

I play these open chords with a capo on the 2nd fret:
Verse:
C Asus2 E G

Chorus:
C Am E D

Without the capo it would be:
D Bsus2 F# A
D Bm F# E

Intro tab here:

  • What makes your cover unique is how you pick out the chords in the intro. Figured out some of it, but can you make a tab of exactly how you do it? thanks

  • @chillun4200

    I posted a link in the video description... tabbed to the best of my abilities.

  • oh my god...your cover is better then the original.....is this your original voice or you work with an Yamaha-Voice-changer?

  • This is the best guitar cover I've heard of this song ever, and your vocals are unique. Awesome, I love it. Thanks man

  • i can't stop listening to this! It has such a beautiful, haunting, feel to it. Your voice is soulful and you add a level of emotion and depth that the original lacks. Well done! I also love how you're not facing right at the camera, it's clear you're feeling the music and i am too. thank you!
