Brother

G Em G D Dadd9

   Em
Oh brother of mine
            C
It’s been a long long time
      G                        D   Dadd9
Since I’ve seen my face in your eyes
    Em
Oh brother, I’ve returned
      C             G
To my burn scars of birth
                             D   Dadd9
Charcoal and iron brought me back

      Em
And I left you alone
     C
In a house, not a home
      G
And I watched the burning grow
      D
As my hair filled with gray
     Em
From the ashes that fell
              C         G
The mountains I knew so well
           C
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of
D
midnight
           C           G   C/G
Brother, I watched the sky burn
    Em
And all I learned was
C               Am           Em
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease

   Em
Oh brother, I see
    C
You burn like me
    G                        D     Dadd9
The singes on our skin like a brand
   Em
Oh brother, I confess
         C
There is little of me left
           G
That could care about dousing the
D
wildfire

      Em
And I left you alone
     C           G
In a house, not a home
      C                  G
And I watched the burning grow
      D
As my hair filled with gray
     Em
From the ashes that fell
              C        G
The mountains I knew so well
            C               G
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of
D
midnight
           C           G   C/G
Brother, I watched the sky burn
    Em    C
And all I learned was
C               Am           Em
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease

    Em *
Oh brother, did you know
          C *
You could just strike a match
     G *                        D  Dadd9
Hear him scream my name one last time
   Em
Oh brother, I am home
       C
In the fires of our youth
             G
I could care less if it hurts you
D      Dadd9
anymore

      Em
And I left you alone
     C           G
In a house, not a home
      C                  G
And I watched the burning grow
      D
As my hair filled with gray
     Em
From the ashes that fell
              C        G
The mountains I knew so well
            C               G
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of
D
midnight
           C           G   C/G
Brother, I watched the sky burn
    Em    C
And all I learned was
C               Am           Em
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
