You'll first find the chords with the lyrics and below I provided some tabs
that show the way (and rhythm) I play the song.

Progression C: From now on they only play a (repeating) | G | C |
progression in the verse until they go into progression B. Here I basically
play the same as in progression A, but only the first two bars.

Now here comes the tab which demonstrates the way I strum it. It is for sure
not exactly the way The National play it, but I think it comes pretty close
to the feeling of the song. However, it's just for you to have and idea, maybe
you like it, and if not, just do your own thing, it's music 🙂
I also noted the downstrokes with "d" and the upstrokes with "u", so you might
get a better idea of the actual rhythm (always annoying with those ascii tabs).
Progression A: In the intro and first verse I play the | G | C | Am | C D |
progression like this (note that I don't actually play a D but from the C I slide
into someting like a Dadd9add11, I like it but if you don't, just play a normal D)
