Neighborhood 2 Laika by Arcade Fire Partial credit for this tab should go to those on The Arcade Fire forum (which user I can't remember). I took the basis of the tab from there and worked out whatever was and just knocked it all into shape. Please note the tuning. I mean it. NOTE TUNING!! written out the various parts of the song, then at the bottom is the order in which they be played. This isn't a tab of what the song sounds like, its a tab of what the guitar Bear that in mind and listen closely to the song before rating or commenting please. and most importantly of all, enjoy!
