Not In Kansas tab by The National

Guitar Tab 

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Not sure if you slide both notes or just higher one at the beginning of each phrase but other than that i'm
pretty sure it's 100% accurate.

        G                         C
If the sadness of life makes you tired

And the failures of man make you sigh
                              C
You can look to the time soon arriving
          D
When this noble experiment
Am                         G
Winds down and calls it a day

Outro:
         G                      C
Time has come now to stop being human
        D                       G
Time to find a new creature to be
     G                    C
Be a fish or a weed or a sparrow
        D                                      C            G
For the Earth has grown tired and all of your time has expired
        G                          C
All the gardens are sprouting with flowers
        D                           G
All the treetops are bursting with birds
        G                          C
And the people all know that it's over
     D                            Am                      G
They lay down their ears and they hang up their tiresome words
