Brother Chords

For better understanding, I will just start by giving you the chord progressions for verse and chorus as well
as the little rundown connecting the chorus to the verse. Since I believe that this song is not only beautiful
but also very friendly for beginners, this version will be a little longer and more in-depth. However, you
can play the entire song without using any bar chords. Sorry in advance for poor language, I'm german.
 
 
[Intro]
 
Am   Am   Am   Am
C/G   C/G   C/G   C/G
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am   C/G   C/G   C/G
 
This is played through the entire verse.
 
You can play C/G like a normal open C Chord. Just use your pinky on the A-string instead of your ring finger
and put your ring finger on the third thread of the E-string
 
e|---0---|
B|---1---|
G|---0---|
D|---2---|
A|---3---|
E|---3---|
 
As a style choice to add diversity to the verse you can add a hammer-on, on the D-String, switching from a
C/Gsus2 to C/G.
 
e|---0--|
B|---1--|
G|---0--|
D|---0h2|
A|---3--|
E|---3--|
 
Not too important especially since we're strumming but adds a little spice.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
This is the only time where the strumming pattern changes, however, you may continue playing it with the same
pattern. To lead to the chorus you just strum C/G 4 times with this pattern: down - down;up
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F7   C   C   G
F7   C   Am   G
F7   C   G   G
F7   C   G   G
F7   C   G
 
The last G in the Chorus is only strummed once.
 
You can play F7 like this.
 
e|---0--|
B|---1--|
G|---2--|
D|---3--|
A|---x--|
E|---x--|
 
 
Rundown connecting chorus to the verse:
 
Am G   C   C   C
Am G   C   C   C
 
Strum Am and G once, then continue with your strumming pattern. Am and G are played within the same bar.
A shortened version is used at the very end of the song. The second line replaces the first line of the verse.
In the stuido version it is covered by a cymbal but it sounds like they play it twice.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am   Am   Am   Am
C/G  C/G  C/G  C/G
Am   Am   Am   Am
C/G  C/G
 
The bridge leads straight into the prechorus for the second chorus.
 
 
 
Here are all the chords in the song with the lyrics.
 
 
[Intro]
 
Am   Am   Am   Am
We'd howl ooh
C/G   C/G   C/G   C/G
ooh
 
[Verse]
 
Am       C/G    C/G
We'd run about
C/G           Am
summer in the night town
C/G         C/G
We make no sound
    C/G                Am      C/G    C/G
And deep in the forest we get lost
C/G                  Am         C/G    C/G    C/G
Whistle to the birds as they call
Am    C/G
  Go on trips
C/G    C/G              Am    C/G    C/G
Moving with the weather as it shifts
C/G            Am              C/G    C/G
We took to the seas and let it drift
C/G              Am            C/G  C/G
How many islands could we hear?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
