The National - 29 Years

alright i love this song regardless of the imperfections but that’s what makes it so
great right? anyway i wanted to learn found there were no tabs/Chords and so i tried to
figure them out . . . not too sure but it sounds close , three chords through out the whole
song and i tried playing along with the song and it sounded alright .

this is the song of their debut album the national , despite the identical lyrics this is
not to be confused with slow show .

i play barre chords but open should sound fine , plus it would probably sound more
dissonant which is like the record .

intro : C | G | Dm7 ( these are all just single downstrokes until a point )

C G
could you tell the enchantment and say goodbye
Dm7 C
i met a girl named disillusionment

C G
could you tell her i made the headlines ( 4 downstrokes per chord from here )
Dm7 C
says ’boy draws wings on everything’

C G
could you tell her to check the headlines
Dm7 C
says ’boy finds angels in the river’

C G
you know i dreamed about you
Dm7
for 29 years before
C
i saw you

you know i dreamed about you
i missed you for 29 years

C
birds are flying out of water
G
underneath the sky
Dm7
i run up to the rainbow girl
C
just to pass her by

i’ll never have a change of heart
my swan will never sing
i have no heart the swan is gone
and now i wear the wings

you know i dreamed about you
for 29 years before
i saw you
