Blood brothers

C

1. We played king of the mountain, out on the end,

Am - G C

world come charging up the hill, and we were women and men.

\

Now there's so much that time, time and memory fade away,

Am - G C

we got our own roads to ride, and chances we gotta take.

F C

We stood side by side, each one fightin' for the other,

Am G C

we said until we died we'd always be blood brothers.

C

2. Now the hardness of this world slowly grinds your dreams away,

Am - G C

makin' a fool's joke out of the promises we make.

\

And what once seemed black and white,

turns to so many shades of gray,

Am - G C

we lose ourselves in work to do, work to do and bills to pay.

F C

And it's a ride, ride, ride, and there ain't much cover,

Am G C

with no-one runnin' by your side my blood brother.

Instr. ( = verse 2, line 1 - 4 ) : C - Am - G - C (2x)

F C

On through the houses of the dead, past those fallen on their tracks,

F G

always movin' ahead and never lookin' back.

C

3. Now I don't know how I feel, I don't know how I feel tonight,

Am - G C

if I've fallen 'neath the wheel, if I've lost or gained sight.

\

I don't even know why, I don't know why I made this call,

Am - G C

or if any of this matters anymore after all.

F C

But the stars are burnin' bright, like some mystery uncovered,

Am G

I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart,

C C - Am - G - C C - Am - G - C .....

my blood brother.
