THE NATIONAL - YOU HAD YOUR SOUL WITH YOU CHORDS

Tuning: E A D G B E

Great song, powerful earworm, weird-ass rhythm. Getting it to groove is way harder than playing the chords. I do a thing where I slap with my thumb (T) on the down beat followed by a thumb sweep (Sw) to get the following rhythm: [1-&a2-&-3-&-----] T Sw T T Strum But it's pretty simplistic, given how complex the song itself is. I also recommend barring Bb and C way up on the neck, but that's up to personal preference. Anyway, enjoy The National's latest single, keep playing guitar, and enjoy the countdown to May 17th [Intro] F C [Verse 1]

^FYou had your soul with you, I was in no mood Drift away, and ^BbI could ^Cforget ^FI had only one last feather left I wore it on the ^Bbisland of my ^Chead ^BbI had only ^Cone thing to ^Fdo and I ^Ccouldn't do it yet ^F
