Hey, so here's my first rough tab of The National's Forever After Days (Demo) off the
Virginia EP. Just comment any corrections and I'll make them.
EADGBe Tuning
Chords:
Gb6: 2 x 1 3 2 x
Ebm: x 6 8 8 7 6
Bbm (I): 6 8 8 6 6 6
Bbm (II): x x x 8 10 11 9
Ab: 4 6 6 5 4 4
Verse:
| | (I)
Just repeat over and over for chorus
Chorus:
Bbm (II) | Ebm | Bbm (I)
This is for the "Forever After Days" melody of the chorus, at the end of the chorus, for
the "Hold my own above the ground" melody, it goes:
Ab | Bbm (I) | Ab | Bbm (I) (hold)
It just repeats like that over and over again. There is a brief solo after the second
chorus, that goes like this:
Gb6 Ebm Bbm(I)
e-------------6----------------7-------------------------------|
B---------------(4)---------------6-------6--------------------|
G-------------------6---------8------------6-------------------| x2
D-----------4-------------------------8------------------------|
A--------------------------------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------------------------------|
I'm pretty sure that's the whole song.
Enjoy!
