I saw them live opening for Frank Turner a couple weeks ago and was \r\nblown away.\r\n\r\nThere's a three chord progression heading into the chorus that I have yet to sound out, \r\nif you've got it go ahead and share it.\r\n\r\nThese are the chords but most of the song is a picked variation of this, listen to \r\nfigure out timing.\r\n\r\nAlso, the lyrics are as close as I could figure out, might not be 100% but it's close.\r\n\r\nAs for the chords, I think it sounds best using bar chords for Bm, G, A, and just a \r\nregular open D.\r\n\r\nEdit: Wow never noticed how difficult they make it to format these, the chords are in \r\nthe right order, just play along with the song.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFirst Verse\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                     [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nThe night
