Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

By Arcade Fire

[Intro]
Dm F (x2)

[Verse 1]
Am
I woke up with the power out
                                  D(?)
Not really something to shout about
Am
Ice has covered up my parents hands
                                        D
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans

[Verse 2]
Bb
I went out into the night
                           F
I went out to find some light
Bb
Kids are swingin' from the power lines
                             F
Nobody's home, so nobody minds


[Verse 3]
Am
I woke up on the darkest night
                                                   D
Neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light
"We found the light!"
Am
Shadows jumpin' all over my walls
                                  D
Some of them big, some of them small

[Verse 4]
Bb
I went out into the night
                          F
I went out to pick a fight with anyone
Bb
Light a candle for the kids
                            Dm
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!
 F    Dm   F
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

[Verse 5]
Am
Ice has covered up my parents hands
                                         D
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
Am
Growin' up in some strange storm
                          D
Nobody's cold, nobody's warm

[Verse 6]
Bb
I went out into the night
                           F
I went out to find some light
Bb
Kids are dyin' out in the snow,
                              Dm
Look at them go, look at them go!
   F    Dm    F
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
   Dm   F    Dm
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

[Verse 7]
Bb       F        Dm
And the power's out
         C         Bb
In the heart of man
          F          Dm
Take it from your heart
        C          Am
Put it in your hand

Am                  Am
What's the plan? What's the plan?

[Verse 8]
Bb
Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
                          F
I think I'll let you deceide
Bb
Just light a candle for the kids
                              Dm
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!

F
'Cause nothin's hid
           Dm
From us kids
F
You ain't foolin' nobody
                   Dm
With the lights out!
    F    Dm      F
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

[Verse 9]

Bb        F       Dm
And the power's out
         C        Bb
In the heart of man
         F            Dm
Take it from your heart
         C          Bb
Put it in your hand

Bb            F           Dm
And there's something wrong
         C         Bb
In the heart of man
          F           Dm
Take it from your heart
         C         Bb
Put it in your hand

Bb F Dm C
