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
INTRO
VERSE 1
Keep your legs from shaking, fill your eyes with new tears,
Don't ask questions, you don't know your name,
Something for everyone, try to win prizes,
Stay young and quiet.
CHORUS
Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you,
Bubbles to the chandelier,
I'm in your hands tonight, Tall Saint,
Stay behind me.
VERSE 2
Don't tell everybody at the table about your dreams,
They're too amazing, it'll melt their minds,
Take 'em to Hollywood, cut out the good parts,
Become millionaires.
CHORUS
Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you,
Bubbles to the chandelier,
I've been looking for you all night, Tall Saint,
Stay behind me now...Tall Saint
BRIDGE
In my city, I didn't make a sound,
When I fell over and cracked my crown,
Heard a woman say
"Stay down, Champion, stay down"
CHORUS
Tall Saint, I'm devoted with a glass of champagne to you,
Bubbles to the chandelier,
I'm in your hands tonight, Tall Saint,
Stay behind me now...Tall Saint
Stay behind me now...Tall Saint.
ENDING
In my city, I didn't make a sound,
When I fell over and cracked my crown,
Heard a woman say
"Stay down, Champion, stay down"
But I got up, got in a car,
Said "I don't think I'm gonna go very far"
Just take me one time around the ballroom slow,
And take me home.
