The National's contribution to "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" soundtrack.
In A Dorian.
I listened as well as I could, to the lyrics and especially to the chords. The chords
are very basic and the strumming pattern is dead easy. Basically, it's ||:
DOWN-up-down-DOWN-up-down-DOWN-up :||, or, ||: DOWN-up-down-DOWN-DOWN-up-down-DOWN :||.
It depends how long the chord lasts.
I'll probably be wrong about many of the lyrics. Feel free to correct me on them if I'm wrong.
