BLOOD BROTHERS- Difficulty 5/10 ------------------ Basically the same chords all the way through. This one isn't too challenging. If I give you the lines I trust you'll be able to work out the arrangement (i.e. when different parts return etc) :) ~=slide * = staccato (play the note shorter) Opening & verses (can be played an octave lower if you wish): Remeber this song is in 6/8- an unusual time signature in metal! G: ---------------------------12----12------14---- Repeat twice D: ----9---9------12------10-----10------12----12- (so you do it A: -7----7-----10----10--------------------------- 3 times in total) E: ----------------------------------------------- This happens in the last bar of every 8-bar segment: G: --------------------------All normal ---14----14------12---- D: ----9---9------12--------till now -12----12------10----10- A: -7----7-----10----10------but then: ----------------------- E: -------------------------- ----------------------- "Just in a second a glimpse of my father I see..." G: --------------------------12-12*--12-12-12-14--14--14 | --16 < Play this D: -9-9*--9-9-9-12*-12-12-12-10-10*--10-10-10-12--12--12 | --14 < 2nd and 4th A: -7-7*--7-7-7-10*-10-10-10---------------------------- | ---- < times only. E: ----------------------------------------------------- | ---- < Chorus (We're Blood Brothers.....) The rhythm here can vary: G: ----------------------------------------------------- D: -9---9-5---5-7---7---7-7---7-9---9-5---5-------7---7- Repeat A: -7---7-3---3-5---5---5-5---5-7---7-3---3-5---5-5---5- E: -----------------------------------------3---3------- There you go! Enjoy! :D I hope that's enough to get you through the song. The parts I left I assumed were easy enough for you to work them out.
