Little Brother The Tallest Man on Earth

 
 -----------------------------------------------------------

 


 


 TUNING: E-A-D-G-B-D (same as 'Love Is All')


 CAPO: 3th fret


 


 NOTE:


 Album version of the song. Entire song is finger pickings!


 I couldn't print the every part in chords, since there are


 some small... uhm... "variations" (nearly hammer-ons and


 pull-offs) certain places...


 I have marked repeating chords, where no extra stuff


 happens, with stars (***), but they are (as mentioned)


 finger pickings as well. Relatively easy song to play!


 


 Enjoy! :)

 LYRICS:
 (words corresponds to the official release by Dead Oceans)
 
 Why are you thinking again, little brother
 when you know there's a story for every wrong
 Well, I won't be around in the morning
 Can only pray there's no harm in me moving on
 to my trials and your unknown
 
 Now there's a legion of wolves in the forest
 And what might have been lost, it is there, I know
 With the crazy old names, loving owners
 I feel useless when I have to face alone
 All your trials and my unknown
 
 CHORUS:
 And if you could just walk on by
 with signs just flying around
 And if this storm was just the motion
 of your kid just trying out
 if he could only lose these miles
 
 Now there's a terrible light on the shading
 Where you threw your insanities on a wall
 Well, I can see where the dog hits the summer
 I said "I believe you", forever, but you said "don't"
 It's a trial for all that grows
 
 CHORUS
 
 Why are you drinking again, little brother
 when your rambling's the hard part of loving you
 You say the creek and fogs wanna drown you
 But there are deeper of wells where we're going to
 There's no drought in this unknown
 
 CHORUS
 
 And with your memories lost on a hillside
 and a wind takes you further and forward now
 And your world is a kite in the weather
 gently tied to your hand that is pointing out
 There's a sky in this unknown
 
 CHORUS
