Goodnight Boy Tabs & Lyrics by Arcade Fire
Goodnight Boy
guitar tabs lyrics
Hey everyone. This is my first attempt at a tab, so, gather what you will from that.
is a great song and it's a shame that you cannot find this tab anywhere. So here goes.
free to update this as there are probably some things missing. I don't know if these
the right chord voicings, but they sound ok, at least when you are playing on your own.

Intro
|Am |Am/C |D |D |
The story I.. wrote as a kid.....
|G |Bm |Em |Em |
So yea... I felt so scared
|Am |Am/C |D |D |
Watching the flames crayon red...
|D |D |
|G |Bm |C |Bm
This.... Kid.... Hung on me too
|Am |D |
So I had to hide in a
|G |Bm |C |Bm
Church...Just me..........and the town..mayor
|Am |D |
and his son who was handi-
|G |Bm |Em |Em |
capped who wouldn't be quiet... unless
|Am |Am/C |D |D |
his dad would sing him a.....song
|G |Bm |Em |Em |
So yea... It wasn't long before
|Am |Am/C |D |D |
they found out just where we were....
|D |D |
But...
|C |C |C |C |
I wasn't mad...... at that kid at
|G |G |G |G |
All.... I just..
|C |C |C |C |
Felt so sad....when his dad said...
|G |Gmaj7 |G |Gmaj7
Goodnight Boy..... Go to sleep Boy
|E |Bm |E |E
Shutup... Boy ....for me
|G |Gmaj7 |G |Gmaj7
Goodnight Boy..... Go to sleep Boy
|G |Gmaj7 |Em |Em
Shutup....Boy.......for me
He repeats the last 8 measures a few times and ends on G with "The troops rush in."
There you go. When I play it alone on guitar I substitute a D/F# for the Gmaj7...It
sounds better...he might actually play something different at that part, it's hard to tell
the organ over it.
Anyways, enjoy!
