Brother
Intro
G G G G X 2
G
You came to me with one idea,
But left me with another.
Em
And though that plan will cost our lives
I'm proud to call you brother
G
I shadowed you through city streets
My teacher till the last
Em
You said 'The beauty of the world
C
Hath made you sad, This beauty now will pass'
C
You start out with good intentions
To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother)
Em C
When thinking of the cost I never thought you'd be the one
D D/F# G
Through everything I'm proud to call you brother
G
My thoughts now turn to these past few weeks
When we were side by side
Em
With Joe and Tom and Jim and Sean
We stood against the tide
G
Teachers, poets, dreamers, men
Heroes unto me
Em
Through words and deeds and actions past
C
I thank them all, they taught me to be free

And traitors of us make
