------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BROTHERS ON A HOTEL BED - Death Cab for Cutie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: xadioriderx Email: sk82x4@gmail.com 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: AbMaj7 AbMaj7(II) AbMaj7(no 3rd) Cm7 Cm D# Bb B Eb--4-------------4------------4------------4----4--4---2---3---| Bb--5-------------5------------5------------5----5--5---4---5---| Gb--6-------------6------------4------------4----6--4---4---5---| Db--7-------------6------------7------------6----6--6---4---5---| Ab--0-------------0------------0------------4----4--7---2---3---| Eb--------------------------------------------------------------| 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 AbMaj7, Cm7, D#, AbMaj7(II) (1), 2, 3, 4 (1), 2 (3), 4 (1), 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 AbMaj7, Cm7, D#, AbMaj7(II) (1), 2, 3, 4 (1), 2 (3), 4 (1), 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 AbMaj7, Cm7, D#, AbMaj7(II) (1), 2, 3, 4 (1), 2 (3), 4 (1), 2, 3, 4 (1), 2, 3, 4 AbMaj7, Cm7, D#, AbMaj7(II) Bb (1), 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 (1), 2, 3, 4 (1), 2, 3 (4) (1).....

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. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/death-cab-for-cutie/292383.html ] Play this twice: ________________________________________ |1,2,3,4,1,2,3, 4 |1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4| |AbMaj7 AbMaj7 |Cm7 D# | |_______________(no_3rd)|________________| ________________________________________________ |1,2,3,4,1,2,3, 4 |1,2,3,4, 1,2,3, 4 | |AbMaj7(II) AbMaj7 |AbMaj7(II) AbMaj7 | |_______________(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 AbMaj7 Cm7 You may tire of me, D# AbMaj7(II) As our December sun is setting, Because I'm not who I used to be...
