ATOP A CAKE

from their album 'alvvays'
tabbed by drew (iamdrew@gmail.com)

great song, super catchy.
i think this song has been ever-so-slightly pitch shifted on the record.
these chords match up with their live performances though.
it's not a tab, so i haven't captured all of their chord voicings.  just the letters
