Capo: no capo
Tuning: E A D G B E
I'm a huge fan of The National, but their songs are not easy to play or to cover
(most of them at least), neither to figure out actually :). The other chords
available here are based on a live show from the National and so are accurate to
the way the band plays the song, but they aren't really that much fun to play on
an acoustic guitar. I just tabbed my own version in about
10 minutes with pretty much only simple chords. The key sounds right, and I do
improvise a couple C variations when I play it that go nicely along with the song
so no, it is not accurate to the original way of playing it! Just play or fiddle
around with it and tell me what you think. Enjoy!
PS: the tab may miss a chord or two so if you feel like something is missing, it probably is 🙂
