The National - Conversation 16 Chords & Tabs

Here's "Conversation 16" from High Violet. This is a really great one from the 
album, one of my favorites. Good Luck finding a vocalist that can bellow like Matt 
Berninger! You might wanna use a capo on this one if your vocal range is higher 
than Berninger's. Have fun!- K.D.
