Okay I'm almost positive this is the exact way to play keep the car running on guitar. This is an awesome song, but no one had the right chords so here it is. The first thing to keep in mind is that you have to tune the guitar weird to play it like the guy in Arcade Fire does. Tuning (from low to high): E, A, C#, F#, B, F# Capo on third fret! These are the chords you use. They don't look anything like the regular guitar chords so pay attention! D maj.
