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!
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
----------------------^CHORDS^------------------------------------
NO CHORDS
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you
CHORDS START AGAIN
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you
SAME CHORDS TILL END
Sounds good to me - Saagar
