The National - Slow Show
Tabbed by Michel Gort

Capo 4th fret

From Am to Dm9 is just lifting up your finger on the d-string and not playing the e- and 
Listen to the song for the right timing to do the pulloff.

Intro
Am Dm9 Am Dm9 Am F C F C G G

Verse I
Am  Dm9                     Am Dm9  Am
Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
F                         C
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
F                     C
a little more stupid, a little more scared
G            G
every minute more unprepared

Verse II
Am  Dm9                Am Dm9  Am
I made a mistake in my life today
F                      C
everything I love gets lost in drawers
F                     C
I want to start over, I want to be winning
G                   G
way out of sync from the beginning

Chorus
C         C
  I wanna hurry home to you
F	  F	        Am         Am
   put on a slow, dumb show for you
	    G      G
and crack you up
	   C	      C	            F
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
      F		   Am          Am
god I’m very, very frightening
    G          G
I’ll overdo it

Am Dm9 Am Dm9 Am F C G G


Verse III
Am  Dm9                Am Dm9  Am
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
  F                          C
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
F                     C
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
    G                  G
and not thinking of my dick


Verse IV
Am  Dm9             Am Dm9  Am
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
         F                             C
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
F                                C
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
G                          G
from one side of it to the other

Chorus
C         C
  I wanna hurry home to you
F	  F	        Am         Am
   put on a slow, dumb show for you
	    G      G
and crack you up
	   C	      C	            F
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
      F		   Am          Am
god I’m very, very frightening
    G          G
I’ll overdo it


C F Am G
