Biography:
The National is a Brooklyn-based indie rock band formed in 1999, by friends from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The band's lyrics are written and sung by Matt Berninger in a distinctive, deep baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: Aaron Dessner (guitar, bass, keyboards), Bryce Dessner (guitar), Scott Devendorf (bass, guitar) and Bryan Devendorf (drums).
Their self-titled debut album"The National" (Brassland 2001) was recorded and released before they had played even a single show.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The tabs I've seen here haven't been 100 % correct. They've had some of the chords
right but Aaron and Bryce plays them in different positions and voicings.
Don't exactly know what to call the 4th chord but naming it B flat minor with a C#
just for the sake of it. Sounds like a suspended chord.
And I don't think they play the high E in the Abm actually but I like to
sometimes, do what you prefer.
Chords used:
Ebm: X643XX (X6887X) Bryce plays that shape during the bridge, I like to change between the two.
B: 7644XX
Abm: 466444
BbC#:6X46XX (The 4 on the A string is muted by the ring finger, that's why I X'd it)
F#: 244322
C#m: X46654
Verse 1:
Ebm B Abm BbC#

You said I came close as anyone's come
