The National - The Perfect Song chords

ubi_rex@hotmail.com

Hammer C into the G chord to make it Gsus4.  I�ve tried to 
place that chord correctly in the song, which may have been a 
bad idea--I hope it doesn�t throw anyone off.  My advice would be
to get the strumming pattern down and then don�t think about it.
Early in the song he sticks to the low strings on the guitar
chords, but later, for effect, I like to just play all the strings.
