Wasp Nest

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.

Capo 3
I use my thumb for the "F#" (the low 2). Pull the "B" off to "A"
or the "A" to the "E" to add some color. More notes at the bottom.

D5 F#m G2
You’re cussing a storm in a cocktail dress
D5 F#m G2
your mother wore when she was young
D5 F#m G2
Red southern saint around your neck
D5 F#m G2
A wet martini in a paper cup

D2 A/F# G2
You’re a wasp nest
D2 A/F# G2
You’re a wasp nest

D5 F#m G2
Your eyes are broken bottles
D5 F#m G2
And I’m afraid to ask
D5 F#m G2
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
D5 F#m G2
You’re poison in the pretty glass

D2 A/F# G2
You’re a wasp nest
D2 A/F# G2
You’re a wasp nest

D2 A/F# G2
You’re all humming live wires
D2 A/F# G2
under your killing clothes.
D2 A/F# G2
Get over here, I wanna
D2 A/F# G2
kiss your skinny throat

D2 A/F# G2
You’re a wasp nest
D2 A/F# G2
You’re a wasp nest

Notes

There’s more than one guitar, and you start hear added notes like this.
I play this down an octave or drop the chord and move my hand up
for a moment.

You might be able to play the flourishes better if you move the
capo to the 8th fret and D chords to A chords.
The problem is you can’t play the G# in the bass

A5 A5/F# A5/G or A2 etc
