Slow Show

	  		Coeur De Pirate - Slow Show (The National cover) 
Tabbed by Curtis Bowal 

Beautiful song by a beautiful lady, originally performed by one of my personal favorites, The National. 

From Em to Am9 is just lifting your finger off of the D-string and not playing the e-. 
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern and the correct timing to do the pull-off. 

Intro 
Em Am9 Em Am9 Em C G C G D D 

Verse I 
Em  Am9                     Em Am9  Em 
Standing at the punch table swallowing punch 
C                         G 
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone 
C                     G 
a little more stupid, a little more scared 
D            D 
every minute more unprepared 

Verse II 
Em  Am9                Em Am9  Em 
I made a mistake in my life today 
C                      G 
everything I love gets lost in drawers 
C                     G 
I want to start over, I want to be winning 
D                   D 
way out of sync from the beginning 

Chorus 
G         G 
  I wanna hurry home to you 
Em        Em            C         C 
   put on a slow, dumb show for you 
            D      D 
and crack you up 
           G          G             Em 
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain 
      Em           C          C 
god I’m very, very frightened 
    D          D 
I’ll overdo it 

Em Am9 Em Am9 Em C G C G D D 


Verse III 
Em  Am9                Em Am9  Em 
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay 
  C                          G 
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away 
C                     G 
Can I get a minute of not being nervous 
    D                  D 
and not thinking of my dick 


Verse IV 
Em  Am9             Em Am9  Em 
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins 
         C                             G 
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in 
C                                G 
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes 
D                          D 
from one side of it to the other 

Chorus 
G         G 
  I wanna hurry home to you 
Em        Em            C         C 
   put on a slow, dumb show for you 
            D      D 
and crack you up 
           G          G             Em 
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain 
      Em           C          C 
god I’m very, very frightened 
    D          D 
I’ll overdo it
