Verse:

Am                 G              F
I asked my mother why do you cry
                C                Am
she said your cousin he just died
                   G          F
Well I told him not to go outside
                                 C        Am
he said he had to fight for his country's rights
                   F   G      Am
But don't you know that mo-mother
               F    G                  Am
don't you know that we can't stop the violence
         F  G            Am
Because the war is not over
            F           G             Am
until you can feel love, peace, and hear silence
   Em                Am
But I smell gunpowder Lord

              Em                  Am
Please ya need to stop with the gunpowder


Repeat the G - F - C - Am pattern:
God, my brother's been dead ever since
I didn't beleive it, but when I saw him I was convinced
Two to the head he was already dead Lord, 
I headed for revenge in the city of Port Au Prince


Repeat the Am - F - G - Am pattern:
Screaming bro-brother
don't you know that we can't stop the violence, no
Because the war is not over 
until you can feel love, peace, and silence
