Tom: A
favorate band. Every song they have created is nothing short of brilliant. I am
relatively new to the guitar and this will be my first tab. Seeing as i don't play the
piano and i have yet to learn chords fo the guitar- it may be a little rusty and will do
the actual song no jusice.. But- i havent been able to find a tab for this song yet, in
addition to many other of theirs songs, so- if you suck as much as i do, enjoy. :)
thanks. Email me with comments, revisions, whatever.
Writted by Win Butler
Tabbed by Nick Long
Standard Tuning
VERSE:
(Guitar 1- Lead)
"I Like the peace in the back seat
I don't have to drive I don't have to speak
I look and watch te countryside and I can fall asleep
My Family Tree's losing all it's leaves
Crashing towards the driver's seat The lightening bolt had enough heat
To melt the street beneath your feet
(Guitar 2- Acoustic Rhythym)
Repeat the guitar 2 verse x2 to gi with gtr 1!
CHORUS: the low violin in the chorus really carries the tune, so i hope you have a
jewish bass (or violin) player.
(Guitar 1)
"Alice died
In the night
I've been learning to drive
My whole life
I've been learning
CHORUS:(Guitar 2)
After the chorus, guitar 1 plays the verse (the picking one) twice again, the first time
pesky violin does a solo. even a handy jewish bass player can't replace that, but you
substitute your guitar 2 for it if you dont have a 3rd (or, even better, a violin
player). after the first repetition of the verse, during the second, Win Butler does
some distorted stuff on guitar #2, if you're familliar with the song.
Guitar Solo #1 (violin solo): (listen to song for beat count)
"(Sexy howling, moaning vocals)"
Win's kick-ass guitar thing: (listen to song for cue to join lead guitar)
!OUTRO! -Guitar 1 plays Chorus outro and fades out, while Guitar 2 plays wither violin
#2, or backup chorus- your call.
Guitar Solo #2 (violin solo):
