this is in "drop D" tuning, that's for sure.
I don't know if Win Butler actually does this, but I also suggest
to detune the highest E to a B for efficiency.

I went out into the night,  went out to find some light.
Kids are swingin' from the power lines, nobody's home, so nobody minds.

I woke up on the darkest night, neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light.
("We found the light")
Shadows jumpin' all over my walls some of them big, some of them small.

I went out into the night. I went out to pick a fight with anyone.
Light a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!
