----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SLOW SHOW (Acoustic) - The National ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Mike Email: mikecurrieis@yahoo.co.uk Tuning:Standard Pretty sure this is 100%, i just watched them do this on youtube and thought it sounded pretty easy. If you have any questions just email me. Basically the song has a CAPO on the 4th fret. and follows a simple tune. In just going to show the chord used in order, you can easily work out the strum pattern by listening to it. ALL NOTES RELEVANT TO CAPO Intro/Verse: Am (x02210@1) Am* F* C (x32010@1) Ge|- (320003@1)0-----0- -1--0 -3-| B|--1-----1- -1--1 -3-| G|--2-----2- -2--0 -0-| D|--2-----0- x2 -3--2 x2 -0-| A|--0-----0- -0--3 -2-| E|--x-----x- -x--x -3-| Chorus: F* C Am G That is basically the whole song till the last bit which goes Em (022000@1)G (320003@1)DmC it sounds pretty cool if you pick these in open chords, this enables you do the little piano riff which goes like this.
