Wake Up Your Saints Tabs

			 The National - Wake Up Your Saints
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning:		Standard


A little disclaimer- the chords sound better plucked than stummed, but this
song doesnt really lend itself so great to the guitar IMO. If you can make
it work, you're a better guitarist than me. The chords are *something like*
as follows:


INTRO

[ch]E[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch] [ch]B[/ch]

VERSE
	[ch]E[/ch]
I had a hole in the middle
	  [ch]G#m[/ch] 
Where the lightning went through
	  [ch]C#m[/ch]
I told my friends not to worry
	     [ch]B[/ch]
My wife would know how to fix it
	[ch]E[/ch]
	Hole in the middle
	   [ch]G#m[/ch] 
I'm seeing less of you
	    [ch]C#m[/ch]
Now i'm not going anywhere
	   [ch]B[/ch]
And I dont know what I'll do


CHORUS 
     [ch]G#m[/ch]		[ch]B[/ch]
It's easy to lose your grip
     [ch]C#m[/ch] 	[ch]G#[/ch]
It's easy

The verse chords are used in the build up bits (i.e. "So i walk...") and the
chorus chords for "wake up your saints..."

If you want to cheat and dont like bar chords, tune all your strings down
one fret and its just 'F Am Dm C' for the verse and 'Am C Dm A' for the
chorus- I keep my guitar tuned down a couple of steps so would tend to play
it this way, even though its cheating and takes the fun out of it I prefer
the sound.
