i’m a huge fan of the national , but their songs are not easy to play or to cover ( most
them at least ) , neither to figure out actually : ) . the other chords available here are
on ashow from the national and so are accurate to the way the band plays it , but it’s
really that much fun to play on an acoustic guitar . i just tabbed my own version in about
minutes with pretty much only simple chords . the key sounds right , and i do improvise A
C variations when i play it that go nicely with the song so no , it is not accurate as in
same as the original , just play or fiddle around with it and tell me what you think . enjoy!
ps : the tab may miss a chord so if you feel like something is missing , it probably is : )
capo : 2nd or 3rd fret ( for me , adapt depending on your voice )
