    My Brother Taught Me How To Swim - Noise Acoustic Version - Passion Pit
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| 

Tabbed by: Alex M.

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

This is an interpretation of only the main guitar part of the song.  Since it features so many 
layers of
guitars (and/or mandolins?) it was difficult to extract the correct parts.  Because of this, 
there may be some
notes added in that would have been played on the other instruments.

Verse 1:
   Bm                Fm                G                 D           Dsus2

Interlude:
(This was incredibly tricky to tab.  The main guitar stops most of its playing and plays mostly 
bass notes.
I improvised a bit, so feel free to do the same.  Just hold the chord shape and go at it.)
