Sorrow
The National
Text File
This is my interpretation of this gorgeous, heartbreaking tune. The original guitar
are a bit weird if you wanna play it and sing a long to the song so I made a tab
for strumming/picking.
I actually think the 4th chord sounds better as an C#m instead of E duringthe verses but
like the sound of the open strings there and they arerelative major/minor anyway,
really make a big difference. Hope you like it. It sounds good to me but please comment
have anything to add!
