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.

"So Far Around the Bend" by the National off of the comp Dark Was the Night
(its fairly straight forward)
C I know you're a serious lady Am (hammer B) Living off a teacup full of cherries G Nobody knows where you are living F Nobody knows where you are
C Take a bath and get high through an apple Am (hammer B) Wanted to cry but you can't when your laughing G Nobody knows where you are living F Nobody knows where you are
DmGCF You're so far around the bend DmGCF You're so far around the bend
(Repeat verse tabs) I'll run through a thousand parties I'll run through a million bars Nobody knows where you are living Nobody knows where you are
You've been humming and I think it's forever Praying for pavement to get back together Nobody knows where you are living Nobody knows where you are
You're so far around the bend You're so far around the bend
DmGCF And there's no leaving New York DmGCF And there's no leaving New York
i haven't figured out the solo or second guitar part yet
