As long as I can remember, Anti-Flag has been one of the defining bands in my life. After many attempts
to FIND a tab for my favorite Anti-Flag song (and seeing them play it live to half learn parts), I've finally
decided its time to tab "Brandenburg Gate" in full.
As for marking this "Live" or not, while I DID use live videos for reference (speciffically PRB'21 for Head's
part), I based almost EVERYTHING else on the version found on the American Spring record. This should
be studio accurate, hence not marking it "Live".
And when I say in full I mean it. This tab is going to be broken up into 3 parts plus a chord chart at the
end incase you want to play this acoustic or just need the lyrics.
1.) Justin Sane, Lead Guitar
2.) Chris Head, Rythim Guitar
3.) Chris Dos, Bass Guitar
4.) Chord Chart, Acoustic Guitar
I recomend using ctrl. + f to find the part you want. Enjoy!

2.) Chris Head, Rythim Guitar
*Before we start on Head's part, I'd like to note this is how it was done live at Punk Rock Bowling 2021 in
Las Vegas, with Head playing the octave of Justin. On the album it MIGHT be both playing the same chords
(hard to tell), so if you want to, you can use the same chords as Justin's part, both sound fine :)

3.) Chris Dos, Bass Guitar
*I recomend putting a bit of drive on your bass tone if you want to sound album accurate :) If you dont CARE
about that, you can also play the intro riff in the chorus if you'd like, thats just not how Dos does it on
the album.

*Full disclosure, this is JUST THE CHORDS, I haven't taken the time to properly listen to the acoustic verion
of this song, so I haven't bassed this off of that version. If demand is high, I'll probably end up doing so,
but for now, this chart is just here for convenience sake.

B B E B E
I lost my baby to a foreign war
B B E B E
She was cut down in the gunfire of the western world
[Pre Chorus]
E B F#
She was livin' in sin, I was livin' in a lie
E B F#
She was caught up in the glimmer of a rich mans eye
E B F#
I couldn't see her from the other side
E B F#
They said "son there is no glory in your pride."

I will wait at the Brandenburg Gate
