------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BROTHERS ON A HOTEL BED - Death Cab for Cutie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: xadioriderx Email: Tuning: Half step down (although not 100% necessary the AbMaj7 chords play better if it is) Now when this is played with a piano like in the acoustic version its completely different. The AbMaj7 is held out mostly with a little variation. But the below assumes youre just playing the actual rhythym on guitar. I have listed some timing. When using it there are no pauses just count even and steady with no pauses 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 1 2 3 4... etc. Chords Used: Eb--4-------------4------------4------------4----4--4---2---3---| --5-------------5------------5------------5----5--5---4---5---| --6-------------6------------4------------4----6--4---4---5---| Ab--0-------------0------------0------------4----4--7---2---3---| --------------------------------------------------------------| Timing is listed here also strum once on the numbers in parentheses and count Intro: (1) 2 3 4 (1) 2 (3) 4 (1) 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 # (II) (1) 2 3 4 (1) 2 (3) 4 (1) 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 # (II) (1) 2 3 4 (1) 2 (3) 4 (1) 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 # (II) (1) 2 3 4 (1) 2 (3) 4 (1) 2 3 4 (1) 2 3 4 # (II) (1) 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 (1) 2 3 4 (1) 2 3 (4) (1)..... .. The intro leads straight into the below which is double the speed of intro. You can choose to drop the AbMaj7(no 3rd) if you want and just continue the AbMaj7 chord as a 4th beat. I dont have the strumming pattern listed just the timing. Play this twice: ________________________________________ |1234123 4 |1234 1234| |_______________(no_3rd)|________________| ________________________________________________ |1234123 4 |1234 123 4 | |_______________(no 3rd)|_______________(no 3rd)_| Now the Verses/chorus is played mostly the same as above but for sake of ease i will leave out the AbMaj7(no 3rd) below You may tire of me D# AbMaj7(II) As our December sun is setting Because I’m not who I used to be... No longer easy on the eyes D# AbMaj7(II) But these wrinkles masterfully disguise The youthful boy below... Who turned your way and saw D# AbMaj7(II) Something he was not looking for: Both a beginning and an end... But now he lives inside D# AbMaj7(II) Someone he does not recognize Bb AbMaj7(II) When he catches his reflection on accident # (II) Verse 2 On the back of a motor bike D# AbMaj7(II) With your arms outstretched trying to take flight Leaving everything behind But even at our swiftest speed D# AbMaj7(II) We couldn’t break from the concrete In the city where we still reside... And I have learned D# AbMaj7(II) That even landlocked lovers yearn For the sea like navy men... Cause now we say goodnight D# AbMaj7(II) From our own separate sides Like brothers on a hotel bed... AbMaj7(II) D# Like brothers on a hotel bed.... AbMaj7(II) D# Like brothers on a hotel bed... Like brothers on a hotel bed... # (II) # (II) End You may tire of me D# AbMaj7(II) As our December sun is setting Cause I’m not who I used to be
