Version 1 
            Artist: The Shins
Song:   Saint Simon
Album:  Chutes to Narrow

Chords by: Zak Lommen

I read a tab somewhere out there that said capo on 3, and I tried it and it definitely
sounds more accurate than just open. You choose.


[Verse 1]
      Am        E              G
After all these implements and texts designed by
D                C                D
intellects we're vexed to find evidently there's
      G
still so much that hides.
    Am         E               G
And though the saints dub us divine in ancient
D                  C            D
fading lines their sentiment is just as hard to
G
pluck from the vine.


[Chorus]
F                       D
I'll try hard not to pretend
F                      D          E
allow myself no mock defense as I

step into the night.


[Verse 2]
Am    E                G                D
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure
        C                   D
out the nursery rhymes that helped us out in
       G
making sense of our lives
Am            E                G        D
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
  C              D                 G
I value them but I won't cry every time one's wiped out.


[Chorus]
F                         D
I'll try hard not to give in
F                       D         E
batten down to fare the wind
F                      D
rid my head of this pretense
F                      D           E
allow myself no mock defense as I

step into the night

Am      E       C       D       E


E
La la la la

C        G

(Repeat this once)

C                G
Mercy's eyes are blue and
Dm          F   G
when she places them in
C        G
front of you
Dm      F       G
nothing holds a roman
C      G
candle to
Dm         F          G
the solemn warmth you feel
F        C       F        C
Inside

F        C             Bb
            There's no measuring of
         G         E
Nothing  else is love


Am   E   G   D   C   D   G   x2

(no words)


[Chorus]
F                         D
I'll try hard not to give in
F                         D       E
batten down to fare the wind
F                      D
rid my head of this pretense
F                      D
allow myself no mock defense as I
E
step into the night

Am      E       C       D       E

E
La la la la
E
La  la la la

C       G       Dm      F     G
