[Verse]
Am Bm Em C
This story began before I was born
Am Bm Em(VII)
A childless woman cried sadly at home
Am Bm Em D C
Her maid gave birth to a child of her own
Am D Em Em7
My father felt joy yet he was torn
Am Bm Em C
A conflict began one day at dawn
Am Bm Em(VII)
The maid took your hand and you were gone
Am Bm Em D C
To the desert you left, towards the unknown
Am D Em Em7
I reckon you were so alone
[Chorus]
Am Bm Em C
God will hear you oh, my blood
Am Bm Em(VII)
For the years you roamed in dirt and mud
Am Bm D G
Forsaken like a nomad, deserted in the flood
F |F Em C|
Forgive me,
[Guitar cadence] Em7
Brother
[Verse]
Am Bm Em C
You did nothing wrong and took all the shame
Am Bm Em(VII)
I suffered myself, yet I am to blame
Am Bm Em D C
The lord blessed us both, but we still fight and claim
Am D Em Em7
That kid on the mountain, - what was his name?
[Chorus]
Am Bm Em C
Brother hear my plea tonight
Am Bm Em(VII)
I grew tired from these endless years of (our) fight
Am Bm D G
From a tiny corner stone we may build our realm of light
F |F Em C|
Please hear me,
[Guitar cadence] Em7
Brother
