This is a very, very slack tab.
Most of the chord names will be wrong and there is no rhythm in the tab. I’m pretty sure
a good enough guideline though.

You repeat all that for the verse. Here’s the chords…
C* G/C* Am Em C*
Older brother, restless soul, lie down.
Lie for a while with your ear against the earth.
You can hear your sister sleeptalking,
Say ‘you’re hair is long but not long enough to reach
G
Home to me’
C*
But your beard
G
Someday might be.
Em7 Cadd9 G
And she’ll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
And beside a jar of two cent coints that are no good no more
She’ll lay it aside
Again it's not perfect, but I hope it's saved you from fiddling around with different
because many on Youtube are convinced that it's in another tuning. If somebody wants to
this and turn it into a REAL tab, then that'd be great.
