Intro

Am (3 beats) G (1 beat)

A5                           G5                A5   G5
A friend of mine grows his very own brambles
A5                           G5                A5   G5
 They twist all around him 'til he can't move
A5           E5                          A5     G5
 Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles
A5           E5                   A5    G5
 What is my friend trying to prove?

 The booze turns a tall, gentle boy to a terrible totem
 And the kids gather round trying to see what's inside
 I think when he's drinking he's drowning some riot
 What is my friend trying to hide?

D5
 Cause it's breaking my heart, 
                       A5   G5
 it's breaking my heart
D5                      A5                       G5
 And it's breaking my heart to pour like the rain
A5          E5                               A5   G5
 Brother of mine, don't run with those fuckers
A5            E5                       A5 G5
 When will my friend start singing again?
A5            E5                       A5  G5
 When will my friend start singing again?


Oooooo bit: D5  A5  D5  A5  E5  A5  G5 repeat until end
