Brother Down Lyrics

BROTHER DOWN - Sam Roberts
E-mail: mikey.lanning@hotmail.com
K so I wanted to make a simpler version of this tab. Just chords and the little sequence
of notes afterwards.
The strumming pattern is basically Down Down up up up
down(pulloff) down
If you listen to the song, it makes a lot more sense then if you read that right there ^^^
Dm ________|
I like to switch between the endings to the chords thing
C ________| Ending V.2
Ditto for this one. (Less frequently, but it still sounds fine.)(Also can pull of to
G ________| Ending V.2 * Ending V.2.2 *
G ________| Ending V.2 * Ending V.2.2 *
Dm - Straight chord; let it ring.
G - With the fiddling at the end (Version 1)
Electric guitar interlude
One life to live but we're doing it wrong
You see, got my brother down cause it's nothing to me
Everyone saying that it's wrong to cheat
But there's no other way to get my life on easy street
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind
There's a man over there says he's tougher than me
But I got eyes that can see through fantasy
I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by
GUITAR INTERLUDE OVER NORMAL GUITAR STRUMMING
Take it all back cause it don't mean nothing
If you give it away and you're looking for something back
Wake up every morning when there's nothing there
No reason to die but no reason to care
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down, now you're looking for more
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind
I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by
*Fades out on main chords*
