Tall Saint - The National

Tabbed by: adslam3
I figured this out without a capo originally so I had to play around to
find a good pitch. Capo on 4 sounds really close.
I'm not sure about the C to start the chorus, but to differentiate between
verse and chorus I do one hammer-on the D string during the C chord.
CAPO ON 4

Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears,

Stay young and quiet.
CHORUS

Bubbles to the chandelier,

VERSE 2
Am C
Don't tell everybody at the table about your dreams,
Am C
They're too amazing, it'll melt their minds,

Take 'em to Hollywood, cut out the good parts,
Am C
Become millionaires.
