[Verse]
Am            Bm              Em       C
This story began before I was born
Am          Bm                   Em(VII)
A childless woman cried sadly at home
Am             Bm          Em  D      C
Her maid gave birth to a child of her own
Am              D              Em   Em7
My father felt joy yet he was torn

Am            Bm             Em      C
A conflict began one day at dawn
Am                  Bm              Em(VII)
The maid took your hand and you were gone
Am                 Bm       Em      D   C
To the desert you left, towards the unknown
Am          D           Em   Em7
I reckon you were so alone


[Chorus]
         Am       Bm      Em     C
God will hear you oh, my blood
        Am        Bm                 Em(VII)
For the years you roamed in dirt and mud
    Am          Bm        D             G
Forsaken like a nomad, deserted in the flood
         F  |F Em C|
Forgive me,
[Guitar cadence] Em7
          Brother

[Verse]
Am                Bm                    Em          C
You did nothing wrong and took all the shame
Am            Bm               Em(VII)
I suffered myself, yet I am to blame
Am                   Bm           Em    D          C
The lord blessed us both, but we still fight and claim
Am                D                      Em      Em7
That kid on the mountain, - what was his name?

[Chorus]
        Am       Bm    Em      C
Brother hear my plea tonight
        Am               Bm                    Em(VII)
I grew tired from these endless years of (our) fight
        Am          Bm           D                  G
From a tiny corner stone we may build our realm of light
            F  |F Em C|
Please hear me,
[Guitar cadence] Em7
          Brother

[Solo]
C D Em C
Am Bm Em(VII) Em(VII)
Am Bm |Em D|C Bm|
F B Em Em

[Chorus]
        Am       Bm    Em   D   C   Bm
Brother hear my plea tonight
        Am               Bm                    Em(VII)
I grew tired from these endless years of (our) fight
        Am          Bm           D                  G
From a tiny corner stone we may build our realm of light
            F  |F Em C|
Please hear me,
[Guitar cadence] Em7
          Brother

         Am       Bm       Em   D   C   Bm
God will hear you oh, my blood
        Am        Bm                 Em(VII)
For the years you roamed in dirt and mud
    Am          Bm        D             G
Forsaken like a nomad, deserted in the flood
         F
Forgive me,
