 "Dream Brother" Jeff Buckley

  

  

  Fm7       G

  There is a child sleeping near his twin

  

      Fm7         G

  The pictures go wild in a rush of wind

  

  Fm7       G

  That dark angel he is shuffling in

  

            Bb                Cm               

  Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

  

  Fm7  G  Fm7  G

  

  Fm7           G

  The love you lost with her skin so fair

  

      Fm7           G

  Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair

  

      Fm7        G

  Her green eyes bloom goodbyes

  

            Bb 

  With her head in her hands

  

           Cm                         Fm7  G

  and your kiss on the lips of another

  

          Bb               Cm                      Fm7  G

  Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.

  

  

  Gm7                            Cm

  Don't be like the one who made me so old

  

            D7                               Eb

  Don't be like the one who left behind his name

  

                  Bb                    Cm

  'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine

  

       D7          Eb             Fm7  G (repeat)

  And nobody ever came...

  

  (Break)

  Cm       F/F  F/G

  Cm       F/F  F/G

  C major  F/F  F/G

  C major  F/F  F/G

  

  

  Fm7        G

  I feel afraid and I call your name

  

  Fm7         G

  I love your voice and your dance insane

  

    Fm7       G

  I hear your words and I know your pain

  

        Bb                        Cm                   Fm7  G

  Your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another

  

                   Bb

  Your eyes to the ground

  

           Cm                   Fm7  G

  and the world spinning round forever

  

                 Bb             Cm         Fm7 G

  Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over...

  "Dream Brother" Tab

  This is based on the studio version. I'll do it, as usual, in sections. It's in (sigh of relief) standard tuning. And remember, ">" means slide, OK. (Just to avoid confusion, I don't mean use a slide like as in Last Goodbye; just slide your fingers between the frets indicated.) 

  

  

  * The Introduction/Verse

  

  [Each of these segments represents 2 bars of music.]

  

  E----------------------------------------------------

  B--4---4--3---3---3--1---1--0--1--3---3--------------

  G----0------0---0------0------------0----------------

  This goes on in similar fashion underneath the vocals.

  *The ascending chord bit ("Don't be like the one....") -- play each of 

  these chords for one bar (8 times in every bar; it's pretty easy timing).

  

  E---3----5----5----X---------------------------------

  B---3----4----7----8---------------------------------

  G---3----5----7----8---------------------------------

  D---3----5----7----8---------------------------------

  A----------------------------------------------------

  E----------------------------------------------------

  

  * The Climactic Middle Instrumental Bit

  

  (Yes, pedants, I know that something climactic usually comes at the end, 

  but Dream Brother ends anti-climactically and so I'm reserving the right 

  to call the middle bit climactic!)

  

  E------3-----3---3-----3-----------|----------------------

  [Two things to note in the above bit. First, at the beginning of that 

  2nd bar, another guitar hits the A on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string, 

  bends it up a tone and plays the "return" i.e. the down-bend. Second, 

  I hope I've counted out the right number of "B" notes in that last 

  little bit but I'd advise you to count it out yourselves!]

  

  E----7-(played 12 times)-----|------3---5---5---X----------

  D----5------------------3--3-|--3---5---5---7---8----------

  A-----------------------3--3-|--3---5----------------------

  E-----------------------1--1-|--1---3----------------------

  

  ...and basically back into the "Don't be like..." stuff, then back into the intro arpeggio.

  

  And then you're basically done.
