Chords with lyrics
The actual chords for Dear Brother are, in my opinion, Fm, Eb, Cm, Bb. But because Eb MajorEb
and C minorCm are such difficult chords to play, I recommend:
Tune your guitar to Eb MajorEb (1/2 step down)
I will write the chord names as if you were playing on std E MajorE tuning (IE F minorFm becomes E minorEm)
E minorEm D MajorD
Reminiscing on our indestructible days
B minorBm
The party never seemed to end
A augmentedA Em... D... Bm... A...
We donkey punched the night away
E minorEm D MajorD
(Sin after sin) 25/7 some risky business, my friend
B minorBm A augmentedA
Fortunes seem to favor us 'round every dark and twisted bend
E minorEm (2nd time B minorBm) D MajorD (2nd time A augmentedA)
You can't cheat death, can't outrun the grim reaper
(repeat)
E minorEm D MajorD
This glass I raise is heavy, heavy as my heart this day
B minorBm A augmentedA
The reaper slipped right past us, bastard stole your breath away
(Em/drum-solo)
E minorEm D MajorD
We raise a heavy glass to you in our indestructible days
B minorBm A augmentedA
May heavens call to you may stars align and light your way
E minorEm (2nd time B minorBm)
Farewell, dear friend
D MajorD (2nd time A augmentedA)
Fare thee well, dear brother
(repeat)
E minorEm D MajorD
A augmentedA sad and joyful toast to you, heavy is my heart this day
B minorBm A augmentedA
Once more into the breach, dear friend, donkey punch the night away
