whatever, this sounds right on the ukulele so i assume it'll sound ok on the guitar too
it's not fancy
deal with it

C G Em Am
older brother, restless soul, lie down
C G Am Em C
lie for a while with your ear against the earth
C G Em
and you'll hear your sister sleep talking
C G Em Am
say "your hair is long but not long enough to reach
C
home to me
Am
but your beard
C
someday might be"
Am Em C
and she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
Am Em C
next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
Am Em Am F
and beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
C
she'll lay it aside

C G Em Am
older father, weary soul, you'll drive
C G Am Em C
back to the home you made on the mountainside
C G Em
with that ugly, terrible thing
C G Em
those papers for divorce
Am
and a lonely ring
C
a lonely ring
Am
sit on your porch
C
and pluck your strings
Am Em C
and you'll find somebody you can blame
Am Em C
and you'll follow the creek that runs out into the sea
Am F C
and you'll find the peace of the Lord.
Am Em C (x4)
C G Em Am
grandfather, gentle soul, you'll fly
C G Am Em C
over your life once more before you die
C G Em
since our grandma passed away
C G Em Am
you've waited for forever and a day
C
just to die
Am
and someday soon
C
you will die
Am Em C
it was the only woman you ever loved
Am Em C
that got burnt by the sun too often when she was young
Am Em Em F
and the cancer spread and it ran into her body and her blood
C
and there's nothing you can do about it now
Am Em C (x10)
