Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)

By Arcade Fire

Key of F

[Intro]
F

[Verse]
    F  Am7 F       Am  Dm
And if the snow buries my,
A    Bb          F
  my neighborhood.
    F             Am7  F
And if my parents are crying
          Am       Dm
then I'll dig a tunnel
     A     Bb     F
from my window to yours,
Am       Dm        A     Bb     F
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours

F         Am7     F
You climb out the chimney
            Am     Dm
and meet me in the middle,
    A      Bb     F
the middle of the town.
    F                    Am7  F
And since there's no one else around,
       Am            Dm
we let our hair grow long
       A          Bb      F
and forget all we used to know,
         Am         Dm
then our skin gets thicker
     A          Bb     F
from living out in the snow.


[Chorus]
F                    Am
  You change all the lead
F                Am
  Sleeping in my head
Dm                 Am
  As the day grows dim
Dm                         C    C7
  I hear you sing a golden hymn

F

[Verse]
F                Am7      F
Then we tried to name our babies,
          Am          Dm
but we forgot all the names that,
    A        Bb      F
the names we used to know.
    F             Am7          F
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms,
        Am       Dm
and our parent's bedrooms,
        A        Bb     F
and the bedrooms of our friends.
        Am           Dm
Then we think of our parents,
     A         Bb          F
well what ever happened to them?!


[Chorus]
F                    Am
  You change all the lead
F                Am
  Sleeping in my head to gold
Dm           Am
  As the day grows dim
Dm                  Am     C
  I hear you sing a golden hymn
    C7
The song I've been trying to sing

F            Am
  Purify the colors
F        Am
  Purify my mind
Dm           Am
  Purify the colors
Dm       Am C
  Purify my mind,
                        C7
Spread the ashes of the colors

over this heart of mine!
