Lemonworld The National
This album will grow on you, this song as well.
Not 100% about the "doo doo" parts, but I think the rest sounds almost right give
or less a few variations you can improvise yourself. This is how I play it, tabbed
it in 10mins so may not be 100% correct. I guess the hardest part is to sing like Matt :)
No capo or capo on 1st fret.
There are basicly 4 chords as far as I can tell:
Am7/G : 302010
C/G : 332010
F : 133210
Em/E : 022003 (or maybe Em7 022030, not 100% sure on this one)
Song:
Intro: strum the Am7/G chord twice seperate by a blank.
Verse 1:
So [Am7/G]happy I was invited, give me a [F]reason to get out of the [C/G]city
[F]See you inside watch[C/G]ing swarms on TV
Livin' or [Em/E]dyin' in New York it means nothing to me
I gave my [Am7/G]heart to the Army, the only [F]sentimental thing I could think [C/G]of
With [F]cousins and colors and some[C/G]where overseas
But it'll [Em/E]take a better war to kill a college man like me
[Am7/G]I'm too tired to [C/G]drive anyway, any[F]way right now, do you [C/G]care if I stayed?
[F]You can put on your [C/G]bathing suits
And I'll [Em/E]try to find somethin' on this thing that means nothin' enough
Chorus chords:
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_national/lemonworld_crd_ver_2.html )
Am7/G (stop) F C/G
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Am7/G F C/G (not sure)
Losin' my breath, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Post-chorus chords:
[F]You and your sister live [C/G]in a Lemonworld
[F]I want to sit in and[C/G] die
[F]You and your sister live i[C/G]n a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo [Em/E]doo doo doo doo doo
[F]You and your sister live [C/G]in a Lemonworld
[F]I want to sit in and[C/G] die
[F]You and your sister live [C/G]in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo [Em/E]doo doo doo doo doo
(Rest of the song is pretty much the same :))
Verse 2
This pricey stuff makes me dizzy, I guess I've always been a delicate man
Takes me a day to remember a day
I didn't mean to let it get so far out of hand
I was a comfortable kid, but I don't think about it much anymore
Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth
And we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture party
I'm too tired to drive anyway, anyway right now, do you care if I stayed?
You can put on your bathing suits
And I'll try to find something on this thing that means nothin' enough
Post-chorus chords:
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
I want to sit in and die
You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
