CHORUS:
Bm
Ohhhhhhh no
D A
I'm not my brother's keeper,
Bm A
Though he be strong or weaker
G D G D
Before you judge me, why not try to love me?
D A Bm A
I'll try to help him but he's wrongin' us
G D G D
Don't point your finger, singin' it's all of us
VERSE:
Bm F# G D
If a man yells "hate," will my voice be heard?
Bm F# G A
Does he speak for me when he chooses unkind words? Uh
Bm F# G D
When wrong is done under one person's name
Bm F# G A
Should all the people have to share the blame? No!
CHORUS:
D A
I'm not my brother's keeper,
Bm A

G D G D

D A Bm A
If I do wrong, then someone make me pay
G D G D
But if I'm right, don't try to block my way
VERSE:
Bm F# G D
Don't judge the story without opening up the book
Bm F# G A
The good you find inside it many times is overlooked, uh
Bm F# G D
Being militant don't mean peace ain't in your heart
Bm F# G A
Though we're most impatient for freedom to start, Oh
CHORUS:
D A
I'm not my brother's keeper,
Bm A
Though he be strong or weaker
G D G D
Before you judge me, why not try to love me?
D A Bm A
Don't cut into me with your knives of doubt
G D G D
Before you judge me, why not hear me out?
G D
Whoa, brothers!
