'Dream Brother'-Jeff Buckley, from the album 'Grace'
E
Verse1: There is a child sleeping near his twin
Am C
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
E
The dark angel he is smuggling in
Am C E
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled..
E
Verse2: The love you lost with the skin so fair
Am C
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
E
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
Am
With her head in her hands
C
And your kiss on the lips of another..
E Am C
Dream brother with your tears scattered round the world..
The song continues with these chords the whole way through except the verses are
plucked and the bridge is strummed
E
Bridge: Don't be like the one who made me so old
Am C
And don't be like the one who left behind his name
E
Cos he's waiting for you
Like I waited for mine
Am C
And nobody ever came..
I like put the capo on 3rd fret.
