D5 G5 D5 How can I repay you brother mine? D5 G5 C5 F5 A5 How can I expect you to forgive? D5 G5 D5 Clinging to the past I shed our blood, D5 C5 D5 and shattered your chance to live. D5 G5 D5 Though I knew the laws I paid no heed. D5 G5 C5 F5 A5 How can I return your wasted breath? D5 G5 D5 What I did not know has cost you dear, D5 C5 D5 For there is no cure for death. (chorus) F5 G5 F5 G5 Beautiful mother, soft and sweet F5 G5 Bb5 C5 Once you were gone we were not complete. F5 G5 F5 G5 Back through the years we reached for you. F5 G5 A5 Alas, twas not ment to be. Bb5 C5 F5 And how can I make amends, Bb5 C5 F5 for all that I took from you? G5 A5 Bb5 I lead you with hopeless dreams. G5 A5 D5 My brother I was a fool. D5 G5 D5 Don't cry for the past now brother mine, D5 G5 C5 F5 A5 Neither you nor I are free from blame. D5 G5 D5 Nothing can erase the things we did, D5 C5 D5 For the path we took was the same. F5 G5 F5 G5 Beautiful mother, soft and sweet F5 G5 Bb5 C5 Once you were gone we were not complete. F5 G5 F5 G5 Back through the years we reached for you. F5 G5 A5 Alas, twas not ment to be. Bb5 C5 F5 My dreams made me blind and mute, Bb5 C5 F5 I longed to return to that time, G5 A5 Bb5 I followed without a word. G5 A5 D5 My brother the fault is mine. Bb5 C5 F5 So where do we go from here? Bb5 C5 F5 And how to forget and forgive? G5 A5 Bb5 What's gone is forever lost. G5 A5 D5 Now all we can do is live.
