The National – Rains Of Castamere chords

Barre Chords recommended!

The first verse is silent (no instruments), but you could use the 2nd verse's chords.  
As for strumming, the string instrument is very subtle.
 One strum of each chord should be enough to re-create the song.

This is not an official version, I learned this by ear, but it wasn't very hard.

The Rains of Castamere- The National


And who are you, the proud lord said,

that I must bow so low?

Only a cat of a different coat,

that's all the truth I know.

EmIn a coat of gold or a coat of red,
                                 F#ma lion still has claws,
    G                           F#mAnd mine are long and sharp, my lord,
   G        F#m      Emas long and sharp as yours.

    Em               GAnd so he spoke, and so he spoke,
     Em             Gthat lord of Cast-a-mere,
    C                  BBut now the rains weep o'er his hall,
     G      F#m      Emwith no one there to hear.

    C                  BYes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
    G     F#m     Emand not a soul to hear. (2x)


---solo---

    Em               GAnd so he spoke, and so he spoke,
     Em             Gthat lord of Cast-a-mere,
    C                  BBut now the rains weep o'er his hall,
     G      F#m      Emwith no one there to hear.

    C                  BYes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
    G     F#m     Emand not a soul to hear. (2x)
