			     Laika - Arcade Fire
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Erol Sabadosh

Tuning: Detune 3rd string (G string) down one semi-tone to F#

I've watched live performances and tried to get this as close to the way Win plays it as possible.

INTRO/VERSE (played in harmonics)

|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

CHORUS (Strum the following as necessary, Win only plays the root notes but you can play 
chords, it's up to you)

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|-4-------7---------12----12-----------------------------------------------|
|-5-------7---------12----9------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--9--------7----7------4----12--9------------------------------------------|
|--7--------5----4------2----12--9------------------------------------------|

        So the neighbours can dance in  the                        police
                                                            Disco                   lights

The whole song is made up of those parts so it shouldn't be too difficult to get. Enjoy!
