• Em

Coeur De Pirate - Slow Show (The National cover)
Tabbed by Curtis Bowal

Beautiful song by a beautiful lady, originally performed by one of my personal favorites, The National.

From Em to Am9 is just lifting your finger off of the D-string and not playing the e-.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern and the correct timing to do the pull-off.

Intro
Em Am9 Em Am9 Em C G C G D D

Verse I
Em  Am9                     Em Am9  Em
Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
C                         G
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
C                     G
a little more stupid, a little more scared
D            D
every minute more unprepared

Verse II
Em  Am9                Em Am9  Em
I made a mistake in my life today
C                      G
everything I love gets lost in drawers
C                     G
I want to start over, I want to be winning
D                   D
way out of sync from the beginning

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

Em Am9 Em Am9 Em C G C G D D


Verse III
Em  Am9                Em Am9  Em
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
  C                          G
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
C                     G
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
    D                  D
and not thinking of my dick


Verse IV
Em  Am9             Em Am9  Em
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
         C                             G
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
C                                G
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
D                          D
from one side of it to the other

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

D Bm

Bm                 D
You know I dreamed about you
A                    G
for twenty-nine years before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you

I missed you for
G
for twenty-nine years

You know I dreamed about you

for twenty-nine years
