----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WINDOWSILL - Arcade Fire ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Chapman Li (aka SonicYouthRules) Email: For the intro check out the tab already posted by Martin Mc Taggart- it’s a pretty accurate one. I have to say in my defence for posting these chords my guitar has the two top strings missing as the guitar bridge broke in two last week(!) So that’s my excuse for any of these chords being inaccurate. I think this is pretty spot-on though and remember if you agree- then give me a rating! Tuning: Standard Intro: - - VERSE 1 Don’t wanna hear the noises on TV Don’t want the salesmen coming after me Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more. Don’t want it faster I dont want it free Don’t wanna show you what they done to me Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more. Don’t wanna choose black or blue Don’t wanna see what they done to you Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more CHORUS ’Cause the tide is high and its rising still and I don’t wanna see it at my windowsill. VERSE 2 Don’t wanna give ’em my name and address Don’t wanna see what happens next Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more. Don’t wanna live with my father’s debt You can’t forgive what you can’t forget Don’t wanna live in my father’s house no more. Don’t wanna fight in a holy war Don’t want the salesmen knocking at my door I don’t wanna live in America no more. CHORUS ’Cause the tide is high and it’s rising still And I don’t wanna see it at my windowsill. VERSE 3 MTV what have you done to me? Save my soul set me free! Set me free! What have you done to me? I can’t breathe! I can’t see! World War III when are you coming for me? Been kicking up sparks we set the flames free. The windows are locked now so what’ll it be? A house on fire a rising sea? CHORUS 2 Why is the night so still? Why did I take the pill? Because I don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! OUTRO Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! Don’t wanna see it at my windowsill! | / slide up | \ slide down | H hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note =============================================================================
