The National

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.

Letters immediately after a slash (/) are a bass notes.
So the “C2 /C /B D/A” is A C2 chord then C bass, B bass,
then D chord with an A as the bass note. There were a lot of
slashes to keep track of; let me know if I made any mistakes.

It's hard to hear exactly what notes are in the chords,
but this sounds close.
D=XX0232 D/A=X0023X D4/B=X20032 D4/E=02003X
C2=X32033 Asus4=X02230 Em7=022030

D D/A D4/B D4/E
give my jewels to the army, my silverware and jeans
D D/A D4/B D4/E
give my love to your family; tell them anything.
D D/A D4/B D4/E
give yourself to anyone; give yourself away
D D/A D4/B D4/E
don't be a nightingale for anyone's space to fill.
C2 /C /B D/A /A /B C2 /C /B D/A /A /B
if i could, i'd be your star again
C2 /C /B D/A Asus4
fall across your falling sky...

D D/A D4/B D4/E
it takes a lot of little rain to make you feel like
D D/A D4/B D4/E
nothing.
D D/A D4/B D4/E
anything, anything you can do, do to me for everything
D D/A D4/B D4/E
i did for you: ...nothing.
C2 /C /B D/A /A /B C2 /C /B D/A /A /B
i didn't try to take your love away
C2 /C /B D/A Asus4
I just never knew i had it.

Em7 C2 D G D/F# Em7 C2
there is nothing you can say to ever make me want you
D G D/F#
American.
Em7 C2 D G D/F# Em7 C2
there is nothing you can say to ever make me leave you
D D D/A D4/B D4/E
American. American
D D/A D4/B D4/E
Mary
D D/A
if you kiss me kiss me with your silver eyes
D4/B D4/E
don't look at me like someone you don't
D D/A D4/B D4/E
recognize I didn't try to do this.
C2 /C /B D/A /A /B C2 /C /B D/A /A /B
your arms around my shoulderblades
C2 /C /B D/A Asus4
are useless.

Em7 C2 D G D/F# Em7 C2
there is nothing you can say to ever make me want you
D G D/F#
American.
Em7 C2 D G D/F# Em7 C2
there is nothing you can say to ever make me leave you
D D D/A D4/B D4/E
American. American
D D/A D4/B D4/E
Mary
