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 ^Amall these ^Eimplements and ^Gtexts designed by ^Dintellects we're ^Cvexed to find evi^Ddently there's still ^Gso much that hides. And ^Amthough the ^Esaints dub us di^Gvine in ancient ^Dfading lines their ^Csentiment is ^Djust as hard to ^Gpluck from the vine.

CHORUS:

^FI'll try hard not to pre^Dtend ^Fallow myself no mock de^Dfense as I ^E

step into the night. VERSE 2:

^AmSince ^EI don't have the ^Gtime nor mind to ^Dfigure out the ^Cnursery rhymes that ^Dhelped us out in making ^Gsense of our lives ^AmThe cruel, une^Eventful state of ^Gapathy re^Dleases me I ^Cvalue them but ^DI won't cry every ^Gtime one's

wiped out. CHORUS:

^FI'll try hard not to give ^Din ^Fbatten down to fare the ^Dwind ^E ^Frid my head of this pre^Dtense ^Fallow myself no mock de^Dfense as I ^E

step into the night Am E C D E

^ELa la la la ^ELa la la la

^CLa la la ^Gla ^Dmla la la la ^Fla ^Gla

(Repeat this once)

^CMercy's eyes are ^Gblue and ^Dmwhen she pla^Fces ^Gthem in ^Cfront of ^Gyou ^Dmnothing ^Fholds a ^Groman ^Ccandle ^Gto ^Dmthe solemn ^Fwarmth you ^Gfeel ^FInside ^C ^F ^C

F C Bb G E Now run through VERSE chords 1x (no words) CHORUS:

^FI'll try hard not to give ^Din ^Fbatten down to fare the wi^Dnd ^E ^Frid my head of this pre^Dtense ^Fallow myself no mock de^Dfense as I ^Estep into the night

Am E C D E

^ELa la la la ^ELa la la la

^C(th^Gis ^Dmtake^Fs the ^Gsong out)
