Apartment Story


The National - Apartment Story I'm not 100% sure of all the chord names. I've watch this a few times on acoustic on youtube. Its not 100% accurate with the way he plays it but these shapes and chords work perfect. For the B and Em in the chorus he plays it closer to the head of the guitar but it works fine this way too. Standard tuning - No Capo.
