Brother chords by Alice in Chains

Brother is the opening track from Alice in Chains 1992 EP Sap, it was written by guitarist Jerry Cantrell. Cantrell said regrading the song "Ours was a divorced family, I was the older brother and we had a sister Cheri in the middle. As you know, when you're a kid there's no way you wanna hang out with your four-year-younger brother. You'll take care of the guy if someone's trying to kick his ass, but other than that you don't wanna know. I think I was really hard on him, especially without my father around. David had nobody, he split to live with my Dad and we didn't see much of each other for a good 6 or 7 years. That song was about the time we were apart, and like 'Rooster' was my dad, it was a way of trying to build a bridge." The song appeared on Alice in Chains MTV Unplugged album, and Jerry Cantrell played this at Dimebag Darrell's tribute, at his house the night he died. Read more on Last.fm.
