 BROTHER DOWN - Sam Roberts

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

 
 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 ^^^

 e|---1-------1-----1--1----1-3h1-1--|-----------------------------------------|
 B|---3-------3-----3--3----3-3-3-3--|-----------------------------------------|
 G|---2-------2----------------------|-----------------------------------------|
 D|---0-------0----------------------|-----------------------------------------|
 A|----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
 E|----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
 

 Dm ________|
 
 I like to switch between the endings to the chords thing

 e|---0-------0-----1--1----1-3p1-1--|----1--1--1-3p1--1-----------------------|
 B|---1-------1-----3--3----3-3---3--|----0--0--0-0----0-----------------------|
 G|---0-------0----------------------|-----------------------------------------|
 D|---2-------2----------------------|-----------------------------------------|
 A|---3-------3----------------------|-----------------------------------------|
 E|----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|
 

 C ________| Ending V.2
 
 Ditto for this one. (Less frequently, but it still sounds fine.)(Also can pull of to
 open e)

       C                                             G G 
 And poor man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind
           Dm                                      
 There's a man over there says he's tougher than me
     C                                      G G 
 But I got eyes that can see through fantasy
