29 Years Chords

   
Alright i love this song regardless of the imperfections but that's what makes it so
great right? anyway i wanted to learn found there were no tabs/chords and so i tried to
figure them out...not too sure but it sounds close, three chords through out the whole 
song and i tried playing along with the song and it sounded alright.

This is the song of their debut album The National, despite the identical lyrics this is
not to be confused with Slow Show.

I play barre chords but open should sound fine, plus it would probably sound more
dissonant which is like the record.

INTRO: C | G | Dm7    (these are all just single downstrokes until a point)

C                                          G
Could you tell the enchantment and say goodbye
         Dm7          C
I met a girl named disillusionment
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_national/29_years_crd.html ]
C                              G
Could you tell her I made the headlines  (4 downstrokes per chord from here)
       Dm7                C
says 'boy draws wings on everything'

C                                G
Could you tell her to check the headlines
      Dm7                    C
says 'boy finds angels in the river'

C                  G
You know I dreamed about you
       Dm7
For 29 years before
       C
I saw you


You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years

C
Birds are flying out of water
G
Underneath the sky
  Dm7
I run up to the rainbow girl
C
just to pass her by

I'll never have a change of heart
My swan will never sing
I have no heart the swan is gone
And now I wear the wings

You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you

NO CHORDS

You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years

You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you

CHORDS START AGAIN

You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you

SAME CHORDS TILL END



Sounds good to me - Saagar
