Brother

Intro 
G G G G X 2

G
You came to me with one idea,
But left me with another.
Em
And though that plan will cost our lives
I'm proud to call you brother
G
I shadowed you through city streets
My teacher till the last 
Em
You said 'The beauty of the world
                                         C
Hath made you sad, This beauty now will pass'

C
You start out with good intentions
To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother)
Em                                                     C
When thinking of the cost I never thought you'd be the one
                                 D      D/F#   G
Through everything I'm proud to call you brother

G
My thoughts now turn to these past few weeks
When we were side by side
Em
With Joe and Tom and Jim and Sean
We stood against the tide
G
Teachers, poets, dreamers, men
Heroes unto me
Em
Through words and deeds and actions past
                                       C
I thank them all, they taught me to be free

C
You start out with good intentions

G
Now I sit in my darkened cell
The morning close at hand
Em
I pray to God for mother dear
That she will understand
G
They'll say to you that we were wrong
And traitors of us make
Em
But generations still to come, will praise your sons 
                                   C
Who died for Irelands sake.
