      A              D       
Oh brother, you're wounded 
G         D             A 
  Never known a fallen son 
Bm           A           G   
   Saw you laid on the table 
                    A 
Nothing I could've done 

D      A             D 
  Cut down, we are lonesome 
G                  D            A 
  There's no more trees in the wood 
Bm            A            G 
   Strike a match in a raincloud 
                       A 
Doesn't burn like it should 


 D        A          G 
I'll be there when darkness is around 
               Em              A 
Oh my brother, I know you're scared 
D       A        Bm                 A              G 
I wont let the leaves outside your window hit the ground 
          A 
It isn't fair 


D      A              D 
  Oh brother, you're weary 
G        D                A 
  Tired eyes and brittle bones 
Bm         A               G 
   Heavy weight on your shoulders 
                  A 
Let us carry the load 



 D        A          G 
I'll be there when darkness is around 
               Em              A 
Oh my brother, I know you're scared 
D       A        Bm                 A              G 
I wont let the leaves outside your window hit the ground 
          A 
It isn't fair

  Oh brother, you're wounded 
G              D            A 
  I've never known a fallen son 
Bm           A               G 
   You were brave when you told me long ago 
                                                 A 
'You know you're old, but you never know you're young.' 



 D        A          G 
I'll be there when darkness is around 
               Em              A 
Oh my brother, I know you're scared 
D       A        Bm                 A              G

          A 
It isn't fair
