Rest Of Years Ukulele

(ver. 1)
The National

                   Rest Of Years - The National
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A very easy song off of the Virginia EP. If you want the strum pattern 
for the verses then go to the bottom of the tab.

NOTES: This song is mainly power chords (G5, Bb5, and C5). The only time
that you use all the strings are for the prechorus and last chorus
