    [ KEY ]
  •  
    - h = hammer-on (do note without picking string)
    - ^ = string bend
  • - ~ = tremolo (fingered or with wh. bar; your choice)
    - / = slide (up or down)
    - etc = placeholder for rhythm pattern in chord
  •  
    RIFF A
     
  • [ This sounds odd at first, like the guitar should
    be playing the end bit lower (ie tuning it all
    down). But believe me, the bass goes lower not
  • the guitar. ]

    RIFF E
     
  • Chorus riff. Get the rhythm right by listening to the song.
    The chords are, curiously, the same as the chords for
    The Wicker Man (from the same album)...

    RIFF F
  •  
    The break riff ("There are times that I feel I'm afraid for
    the world, there are times I'm ashamed of us all...")
  •  
    e |------------------------------------|
    b |------------------------------------|
  • g |-7--------9-----------------5-------|
    D |-7-etc----9-etc----5--------5-etc---|
    A |-5--------7--------5-etc----3-------|
  • E |-------------------3----------------|
     
    RIFF G
  •  
    Same as Riff B, just different timing.
     
  • RIFF H
     
    The impossibly fast solo-riff...
  • I can't tab this. If anyone can, let me know and POST IT!
     
    RIFF I
  •  
    e |---------------------------------------------|
    b |-----12---10---12---------13---12------10----|
  • g |-9----------------------------------------12-|
    D |---------------------------------------------|
    A |---------------------------------------------|
  • E |---------------------------------------------|
     
    repeat a whole bunch of times, then slide the first
  • note -- the 9th fret on g -- down to second fret at
    the end (you'll hear it when you listen to the song)
     
  • RIFF J
     
    .
  • D |---2-2---2-2---7-7---5-5-|
    A |-0-----0-----5-----3-----| (x2)

    E |-0-----3-----0-----3-----|-------------------------|
  •  
     
    RIFF K
  •  
    The lead that kicks in after over Riff J after J has been
    played once. This is very difficult and takes practise;
  • in my opinion it is harder than the second solo riff.
    Each "|---" to "---|" is three eighth beats, but the tab
    is only rough; it's just to give some idea of the timing.

    RIFF L
  •  
    The second solo-riff, near the end. Light distortion, but
    plenty of gain will get that 'naturally semi-harmonic'
  • sound you want for this. Timing note: each | to | is one
    whole bar (2/2).

    SONG STRUCTURE
     
  • If you make head from tail of my tab by listening to the song,
    the structure is pretty self-explanitory based on the short
    descriptions at the top of this tab (the "background info"
  • section)
     
    LYRICS
  •  
    And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life
    What do think you'd expect you would see?
  • Just like a mirror refleting the moves of your life
    And in the river reflections of me
     
  • Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
    And in a movement he beckons to me
    And in a moment the memories are all that remain
  • And all the wounds are re-opening again
     
    WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
  • WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
     
    And as you look all around at the world in dismay
  • What do you see? Do you think we have learned?
    Not if you're taking a look at the war torn affray
    Out in the street where our babies are buried
  •  
    WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
    WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
  •  
    There are times when I feel I'm afraid for the world
    There are times I'm ashamed of us all
  • When you're floating all over the emotion you feel
    And reflecting the good and the bad
     
  • Will we ever know what the answer to life really is?
    Can you really tell me what love is?
    Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you
  • Can be slipped away by fate's soft hand
     
    WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
  • WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
     
    When you think that we've used all our chances
  • And the chance to make everything right
    Keep on making the same old mistakes
    Make some tipping the balance of reason
  • When we're living our lives on the edge
    Say a prayer on the book of the dead...
     
  • WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
    WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
    WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
  • WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS, WE'RE BLOOD BROTHERS
     
    And if you're taking a walk though the garden of...
  • life...
