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.

Notes:
- The bracketed chords don't appear in the recording, but are implied in the
harmonies. So they're optional.
- In the verses, the Dm chords have the top string muted.
[Verse 1]
(Dm) (C) (Dm) (C)
And who are you, the proud lord said,
(Dm) (C)
that I must bow so low?
(F) (C) (F) (C)
Only a cat of a different coat,
(Gm) (Am)
that's all the truth I know.
[Verse 2]
Dm (C) (Dm) (C)
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
(Dm) C
a lion still has claws,
F (C) (F) C
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
Gm Am D
as long and sharp as yours.
[Chorus 1]
Dm C
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
Dm C
that lord of Castamere,
Bb Gm
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
Bb Am Dm
with no one there to hear.
Bb Gm
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
Bb Am Dm
and not a soul to hear.
