Mighty Oaks - Brother Chords

[Intro]
 
Am   Am   Am   Am
G/C   G/C   G/C   G/C
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am   G/C   G/C   G/C
 
This is played through the entire verse.
 
You can play G/C 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.
 
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
 
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.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am   Am   Am   Am

[Intro]
 
Am   Am   Am   Am
We'd howl ooh
G/C   G/C   G/C   G/C
ooh
 
[Verse]
 
Am       G/C    G/C
We'd run about
G/C           Am
summer in the night town
G/C         G/C
We make no sound
    G/C                Am      G/C    G/C
And deep in the forest we get lost
G/C                  Am         G/C    G/C    G/C
Whistle to the birds as they call
Am    G/C
  Go on trips
G/C    G/C              Am    G/C    G/C
Moving with the weather as it shifts
G/C            Am              G/C    G/C
We took to the seas and let it drift
G/C              Am            G/C  G/C
How many islands could we hear?
 
[Pre-Chorus]

1, 2, 3, 4
 
[Chorus]
F7         C
I'd follow you
C                          G              F7     C
To the end of the world if only you would ask me to
Am           G              F7       C
On and on we go, my brother I've got you
G                  G               F7       C
Nothing to stop us now, because we found in life

[Verse]
Am     G      G/C     G/C
  In my faded truck
G/C                        Am           G/C    G/C
Shot across the country to find our luck
G/C                    Am              G/C     G/C
The youth inside would scream and shout
G/C                           Am           G/C    G/C    G/C
Like a dagger in the heart we ripped it out
 
[Bridge]
           Am               Am
And we had howl through the night
         Am           Am           G/C
Call the stars by the fire shining on
            G/C
Through the night
        G/C         G/C             Am
We will run, to the rising life and on
            Am              Am
Through the night, burn the flames
    Am                  G/C      G/C
The world will know our Names
