[Intro]
Am, C, Dm, G (x6)
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse]
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)
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse]
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.
[Solo]
Am, C, Dm, G (x5)
[Verse]
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)
[Outro]
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.

No, oh.
Am E Am
