Saint Simon The Shins
Sorry about that last tab, I've gone over it and fixed all the errors that I missed.
Also Chords may not be on the right time. I dont know why it didnt let me do it right
last time, but I can't seem to find out this prob.
Cheers!
The strumming is sightly weird but if you sit down and play along with the song you'll
it. The Chords written are pretty well aligned with there time (with the words) but I
still recomend playing along with the song to get it down "perfectly".
Another thing, one the Chord chart it list most of the chords in there open form. This
fine, but in the music video and live you can see the band using mostly bar/power chords.
