Title: B is for Brutus
Artists: The Hives
Album: Tyranasaurus Hives
Transcribed by: Erin Cox

This song is pretty crazy melodically and emploes some either well thought out
riff or a drug induced improvisation. Either way the songs pretty good and fun
to play! Thanks Nick Arson...

2 guitars, both in standard tuning (EADGBE), in the key of B Minor.

	Yes, Brutus betrayed Ceaser. He was also his best friend. He organized a killing because he felt Ceaser was letting power get to his head and it was for the good of the country to remove him. After this Marc Anthony led a revolution against Brutus and his counter-part (Cassius, i believe) and Brutus fled. As the toops were approacing, rather than become captive, he commanded his servant to hold out his sword as Brutus impaled himself upon it. I think this is what they mean at the end when they say "Time has come to do what's expected of you."

	Might also want to mention that the term Quisling after Vidkun Quisling, the pro-nazi head of Norway's government during the nazi occupation.
