Saint Simon Tab

by Shins


The strumming is sightly weird but if you sit down and play along with the song you'll 
it.  The Chords written are pretty well aligned with there time (with the words) but I 
still recomend playing along with the song to get it down "perfectly".

 Verse 1:
                                                  
After all these implements and texts designed by
                                                     
intellects we're vexed to find evidently there's
             
still so much that hides.
                                                    
and though the saints dub us divine in ancient
                                                 
fading lines their sentiment is just as hard to

pluck from the vine.

 Chorus:
                                
I'll try hard not to pretend
                                                   
allow myself no mock defence as I

step into the night.

 Verse 2:
                                                                 
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure
                                              
out the nursery rhymes that helped us out in
                    
making sense of our lives.
                                                         
 
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
                                                      
I value the but I won't cry every time one's

wiped out.

Chorus:
                                
I'll try hard not to give in
                                                     
batten down to fare the wind
                                        
rid my head of this pretense
                                                   
allow myself no mock defence as I

step into the night.

Mercy' eyes are blue and
Fb                    
when she places them in
       
of you
                   
nothing  holds a roman
      
candle to
                                 
the solomn warmth you feel
                         
inside.
                           

 (No run through Verse chords once)

 Chorus:
                                  
I'll try hard not to give in
                                                   
batten down to fare the wind
                                         
rid my head of this pretense
                                           
allow myself no mock defence as I
