Artist: The Shins
Song: Saint Simon
Album: Chutes to Narrow
Chords by: Zak Lommen
As Always i reccomend that you listen to the song as you play it for the first time to
get the strumming down.
I read a tab somewhere out there that said capo on 3, and i tried it and it definitly
sounds more accurate than just open. You choose.
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 defense 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 them 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 defense as I
step into the night
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
la la la la la la
(Repeat this once)
Mercy's eyes are blue and
when she places them in
front of you
nothing holds a roman
candle to
the solemn warmth you feel
Inside
Now run through VERSE chords 1x
(no words)
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 defense as I
step into the night
La la la la
La la la la
(this takes the song out)
Good song - zak lommen
