Secret Meeting

the national , secret meeting . the fundamental chord progressions in this song are very basic . but you don’t hear just strumming the chords in the recording , so i would be foolish to approach this song on my own with an acoustic guitar expect to replicate what i’ve heard on the cd . make it your own . the arrangement on the cd appears to be several electric guitar tracks just finger around pairs of notes so there are often addEd notes and suspensions that make the harmony a little more coloured . if you’re it on your own just play the chords . i would assume that if you were musical enough to be able to arrange it yourself , you wouldn’t looking at this page . _______________________________________________ Intro Bm D Bm D Bm i think this place is full of spies D i think they’re onto me didn’t anybody , didn’t anybody tell you didn’t anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in a room Bm D Bm D Bm D - - - - - - - > i know you put in the hours to keep me in sunglasses , i know D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > and so and now i’m sorry i missed you D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > i had a secret meeting in the basement of my . . .
