Biografía:
Mancub is Ben and Joe (Bird Noises) doing acoustic folk punk. Recorded and released in 2007 on Valiant Death Records. Unfortunately on May 31st, 2007 Ben, Cayce, and Joe had their lives taken in a car accident while on tour.
The other Mancub is a two piece outfit from Denver Colorado who can be best described as infectiously catchy eclectro-noise pop. In November 2010, Alex Anderson & Danny Stills started experimenting using mostly 80's analog synths, drum machines and anything else they could get there noise making hands on.

"Broken Benches"
Written and performed by : Benjamin Hutson , Mancub
Tab by : J. Espinosa
This specific tab is based off the studio recorded version
(https://mancubva.bandcamp.com/album/mancub-original-full-length), Track 13
I never saw Ben play live, but to me it sounds like he's playing Barre chords here.
Personally I play open chords with a capo around the 3rd fret.
The chord progression remains the same throughout the song, until the Outro.
Thanks for being an inspiration to myself, and everyone even a decade later,
and many more years to come Ben.
[Intro]
D x2
[Verse 1]
D
Sometimes broken benches are the only place to sit
G
and while our hearts capsized in our chests
D A
my mom clutched a cell phone and was screaming into it
G
tears streaming from the new sunglasses
D
yea, 17 years of misery and all we've got to show
G D
are these hearts divided by
A
weekend visitations and strained family relations
G
thank god we saved our tears till bed time
[Verse 2]
D
somewhere between ventricles a part of my heart
G D
broken so many times it didn't even hurt that much
A
when you packed it in an overnight bag along with enough clothes
G
to last you downtown till you could find a place of your own
D
but all of that was last February and we're so much warmer now
G D
atleast until the phone rang today
A
your eyes accused and his mouth abused
G
until you walked out of earshot so my little brother won't be
D
writing songs about it when he gets to be my age
G D
it must be so much harder for him
A
cuz you're his shining light and while I'm just cynical and sad
G
he's still, so fragile
[Bridge]
(muted)
D
things we said in vain just to salvage peace when we're alone
G D
the tears we shed until the pain was dead and this house was finally a home
A G
and all along you sang a song with words we never knew
G
yea it hurt so much to harbor but it was what we had to do
D
and I'll go off to college and just try to carry on
G
and you can't pretend that you wont bend
D
before you break when we're all gone
A
my father, shouted explanations for why it all went down the drain
G
can't hold a candle to the handle
I've gotten to what it's like to break the chains
[Outro]
(strum once)
D A G
of lowered expectations
D A G
and family trees chopped limb from limb
A
and it's all broken
A
it's all broken
D A D
but, atleast now I've got some place to begin
D A G
