In The Backseat

Arcade Fire

Text File

Alright, so- as many of you, i'm sure, can relate, The Arcade Fire is probably my 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.
