The National - Rains Of Castamere chords

Barre Chords recommended!

The first verse is silent (no instruments), but you could use the 2nd verse's chords.  
As for strumming, the string instrument is very subtle.
 One strum of each chord should be enough to re-create the song.

This is not an official version, I learned this by ear, but it wasn't very hard.

---This is a song performed by The National, with lyrics written by George RR Martin
for the Game of Thrones HBO adaptation.---



The Rains of Castamere- The National


And who are you, the proud lord said,

that I must bow so low?

Only a cat of a different coat,

that's all the truth I know.

Em
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
                                 F#m
a lion still has claws,
    G                           F#m
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
   G        F#m      Em
as long and sharp as yours.

    Em               G
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
     Em             G
that lord of Cast-a-mere,
    C                  B
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
     G      F#m      Em
with no one there to hear.

    C                  B
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
    G     F#m     Em
and not a soul to hear. (2x)

    Em               G
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
     Em             G
that lord of Cast-a-mere,
    C                  B
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
     G      F#m      Em
with no one there to hear.

    C                  B
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
    G     F#m     Em
and not a soul to hear. (2x)
