Am
My Brothers Blood boils in my arms.
C
Balls my fingers into fists.
Dm
It bubbles blisters burns my palms.
G
It floods with fury fights and fits.
Am
It�s got the good guy in me hiding.
C
It kicks my humble heart around.
Dm
It�s got me fiending for the fire
G
That could finish off this town.
Oh it�s got me good.
Interlude
[Am, C, Dm, G]x3
Am
My brothers blood on the cherry tree.
C
It stains to bark from branch to root.
Dm
It puddles thick with pits and leaves.
G
It stains the sweetness from the fruit.
Am
It's got me looking for communion.
C
Some hiding spot off underground.
Dm
An open plot I could climb into.
G
A lightning promise in my mouth.
C G
A black out oath I swore and meant.
Dm Am
I couldn�t conger up again.
C G F E Am
I don�t know one thing about my brother�s blood.
G
No, oh.
Am E Am
I don�t know one thing about my brother�s blood.
[Am, C, Dm, G]x5
Am
It�s my brother�s blood in my dirty lung.
C
On my crooked mouth and my swollen tongue.
Dm
On my fathers gun. On each strangers face.
G
Across the blue bird sky. On every hand I shake.
Am
Night after night, on each chuckled prayer.
C
Such sweet relief, my fist full of hair.
Dm
And each desperate drug for elusive peace.
G
And every endless night and every wasted week.
Am
All that dialogue doubling back on me.
C
All that tangled talk. All my growling need.
Dm
It�s my brother�s back. It�s my father�s arms
G
Every twisted fact. In my sorry heart. (My sorry heart.)
Interlude
[Am, C, Dm, G]x3
C G
I spit and I scream 'What�s done is done'.
Dm Am
Go make your peace with everyone.
C G F E Am
I don�t know one thing about my brother�s blood.
G
No, oh.
Am E Am
I don�t know one thing about my brother�s blood.
