Saint Simon The Shins
Song: Saint Simon
Album: Chutes to Narrow
Chords by: Zak Lommen
As Always i reccomend that you listen to the song as you play it for the first time to
get the strumming down.
I read a tab somewhere out there that said capo on 3, and i tried it and it definitly
sounds more accurate than just open. You choose.
VERSE 1:
After [Am]all these [E]implements and [G]texts designed by
[D]intellects we're [C]vexed to find evi[D]dently there's
still [G]so much that hides.
And [Am]though the [E]saints dub us di[G]vine in ancient
[D]fading lines their [C]sentiment is [D]just as hard to
[G]pluck from the vine.
CHORUS:
[F]I'll try hard not to pre[D]tend
[F]allow myself no mock de[D]fense as I [E]
step into the night.
VERSE 2:
[Am]Since [E]I don't have the [G]time nor mind to [D]figure
out the [C]nursery rhymes that [D]helped us out in
making [G]sense of our lives
[Am]The cruel, une[E]ventful state of [G]apathy re[D]leases me
I [C]value them but [D]I won't cry every [G]time one's
wiped out.

CHORUS:
[F]I'll try hard not to give [D]in
[F]batten down to fare the [D]wind [E]
[F]rid my head of this pre[D]tense
[F]allow myself no mock de[D]fense as I [E]
step into the night
[Am] [E] [C] [D] [E]
[E]La la la la
[E]La la la la
[C]La la la [G]la
[Dm]la la la la [F]la [G]la
(Repeat this once)
[C]Mercy's eyes are [G]blue and
[Dm]when she pla[F]ces [G]them in
[C]front of [G]you
[Dm]nothing [F]holds a [G]roman
[C]candle [G]to
[Dm]the solemn [F]warmth you [G]feel
[F]Inside[C] [F] [C]
[F] [C] [Bb] [G] [E]
