Wasp Nest by The National
Wasp Nest
Capo 3
I use my thumb for the "F#" (the low 2). Pull the "B" off to "A"
or the "A" to the "E" to add some color. More notes at the bottom.

D5 F#m G2
You™re cussing a storm in a cocktail dress
D5 F#m G2
your mother wore when she was young
D5 F#m G2
Red southern saint around your neck
D5 F#m G2
A wet martini in a paper cup
D2 A/F# G2
You™re a wasp nest
D2 A/F# G2
You™re a wasp nest
D5 F#m G2
Your eyes are broken bottles
D5 F#m G2
And I™m afraid to ask
D5 F#m G2
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
D5 F#m G2
You™re poison in the pretty glass
D2 A/F# G2
You™re a wasp nest
D2 A/F# G2
You™re a wasp nest
D2 A/F# G2
You™re all humming live wires
D2 A/F# G2
under your killing clothes.
D2 A/F# G2
Get over here, I wanna
D2 A/F# G2
kiss your skinny throat
D2 A/F# G2
You™re a wasp nest
D2 A/F# G2
You™re a wasp nest
Notes
There™s more than one guitar, and you start hear added notes like this.
I play this down an octave or drop the chord and move my hand up
for a moment.

You might be able to play the flourishes better if you move the
capo to the 8th fret and D chords to A chords.
The problem is you can™t play the G# in the bass
A5 A5/F# A5/G or A2 etc

[Verse 1]
You™re cussing a storm in a cocktail dress your mother wore when she was young
Red sun saint around your neck
A wet martini in a paper cup
[Chorus]
You™re a wasp nest, you’re a wasp nest.
[Verse 2]
Your eyes are broken bottles
And I™m afraid to ask
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
You™re poison in the pretty glass
[Chorus]
You™re a wasp nest, You™re a wasp nest
[Verse 3]
You™re all humming live wires under your killing clothes.
Get over here, I wanna kiss your skinny throat
[Chorus]
You™re a wasp nest, You™re a wasp nest
