Biografia:
Curtis Mayfield conquistou fama e sucesso no começo da década de 60 como compositor e vocalista do Impressions, grupo que dominou as paradas com os hits 'Gypsy Woman' (1961), 'It's All Right' (1963) e 'People Get Ready' (1965), entre outros. Suas letras alternavam românticas declarações de amor e as primeiras reivindicações sociais e políticas do movimento negro. Isso em um tempo que os cantores de soul não eram os compositores das músicas que cantavam.

Pretty straightfoward, but a great song, enjoy.
Intro: F#m9,F#m9,F#m9,C#7(#9) Repeat
F#m7 Bm7
Eddie, you should know better
F#m7 Bm7
Brother, you know you're wrong
Dmaj7 C#m7
Think of the tears and fears
Bm7
You bring to your folks back home
C#7(#9) C#7(B9)
They'd say, "Where did he go wrong,
F#m9
My Lord?"
C#7(#9) C#7(B9)
We planned and worked hard
F#m9
From the very start
C#7(#9) C#7(B9)
Tried to make him better
F#m9
Than all the rest
C#7(#9) C#7(B9)
But the brother proved to be
F#m9 F#m9 F#m9 C#7(#9)
So much less
F#m9,F#m9,F#m9,C#7(#9)
Same chords as before:
Eddie is everybody's friend
But sometimes we wonder now and then
The only time he'll choose you
When theres's something to lose through
His personal loss
And the friend pays the cost
All the time
Must be something' that's freezin' his mind
That has made him, through greed, so very blind
And I don't think he's gonna make it this time
