Song: Brother
Artist: Corey Taylor
Date: 5/5/02
Tabbed by: nick olorenshaw (pearl_jamming@hotmail.com)

Who would have thought that the frontman of slipknot could write 
such a great song for the acoustic guitar? not me, that's for sure.

Standard tuning (EADGBE)
The chords used are:	

    D#m C#  F#  Bb  B5
:---6---4---2---6---x---:
:---7---6---2---6---x---:
:---8---6---3---7---4---:
:---8---6---4---8---4---:
:---6---4---4---8---2---:
:---x---x---2---6---x---:

The intro is the D#m and C# chords, with strummed chords
and fills based around this pattern:

:---6--4-------------:
:---7--6--6h7p6-4----:
:---8--6----------6--:
:---8--6-------------:
:---6--4-------------:
:--------------------:


D#m    C#      D#m     C#    C#              D#m  C# (fill)
Wish I was too dead to cry A self affliction face 

D#m       C#       D#m   C#   C#           F#      C#
Stones to throw at my creator Masochist to which I cater 


D#m               C#     D#m             Bb 
You don't need to bother I don't need to be 

D#m                C#
I'll keep slipping farther

    B5               C#                    D#m  C# (fill)
But once I hold on I won't let go 'till it bleeds 


Wish I was too dead to care If indeed I cared at all 
Never had a voice to protest 
So you fed me shit to digest

D#m   
I wish I had a reason 
Bb
My thoughts are open season 
B5                        
For this I gave up trying 
C#
One good time deserves my dying 

(same chords as before)
You don't need to bother I don't need to be 
I'll keep slipping farther 
But once I hold on I won't let go 'till it bleeds

interlude with solo (around D#m and C# chords)

intro again

(same chords as before)
Wish I'd died instead of lived A zombie hides my face
Shelf forgotten with it's memories Diaries left with cryptic entries 

(same chords as before)
And you don't need to bother I don't need to be 
I'll keep slipping farther 
But once I hold on I won't let go 'till it bleeds

You don't need to bother I don't need to be
yeah I'll keep slipping farther 

But once I hold on, once I hold on I'll never live down my disease 

outro (same as intro)
