Artist: The National Song: Exile Vilify Album: Portal 2 Soundtrack (2011) tabbed by: necriononguitar e-mail (NO SPAM!): tim.rathgen@gmx.de REAL FANS SUPPORT BANDS BY PURCHASING THEIR CD'S!!! Tuning: Half-Step Down . = Palm-Muted ~ = hold note ^ = vibrate p = pull off h = hammer on / = slide up \ = slide down Like all the other tabs, this is my own interpretation of the song. The chords are very accurate tho their meant to be played acustically and this tab was taken from the studio verions which only contains piano and bowed instruments. Also please check your tuning, this tab is for half-step down tuning! Chords: { Open Chords (Recommended) } { Bar Chords (alternate) } Em G C Am D/F# F Dm Em G C Am D F Dm E---0-------0---0---------1---1-------7---3---8---5---5---1---5-------| B---0---3---1---1----3----1---3-------8---3---8---5---7---1---6-------| G---0---0---0---2----2----2---2-------9---4---9---5---7---2---7-------| D---2---0---2---2----0----3---0-------9---5---10--7---7---3---7-------| A---2---2---3---0----0----3-----------7---5---10--7---5---3---5-------| E---0---3-----------(2)--(1)---------(0)--3---8---5-------1-----------| D = D/F# (just what the piano tends to add during chorus) If any requests and questions, please mail me or comment!

UPDATE 26/04/2011 Personal update: Thanks for all the great feedback. I thought I’d post a way to combine both piano hands in a lower register. Enjoy!

UPDATE 22/05/2011 Addition to verse-pattern using bar-chords, all credit to ambient203! Also "emptinesses again" is changed into "empty answers again", thanks again to ambient203.
