🎸 Verse :

G+G            D MajorD
Sonny boy, you need new sneakers
    C majorC                D MajorD
I better go into town and get them friday night
    G+G             FF
Come to think of it, kid, you need just about everything
  C majorC                G+G
But I think everything will be all right

    G+G                D MajorD
So you went and got yourself back into trouble
     C majorC             D MajorD
Went and got yourself into another fight
    G+G               FF
Come on here, let me see your eye, now it's all black and swollen
C majorC                  G+G
But I think everything will be all right
   FF          C majorC      G+G
Yes
I think that you're gonna be all right


G+G                   D MajorD
I don't know why you're such a troublemaker
        C majorC              D MajorD
You'd think that maybe by now you'd see the light
G+G                 FF
Getting yourself torn up, boy, and we don't have much money
  C majorC               G+G
But I think everything will be all right
   FF      C majorC         G+G
Yes
I think everything will be all right
  G+G
Now maybe I shouldn't yell
     D MajorD
'cause I know you're just a kid
  C majorC
But I can't always tell
        FF         C majorC       G+G
What's on your mind, half of the time, brother mine

🎸 Interlude:

G+G D MajorD C majorC FF C majorC G+G G MajorG




🎸 Verse :

  G+G                 D MajorD
Now I know that you're just my little brother
   C majorC                    D MajorD
And I don't expect you to get everything just right
    G+G                  FF
But I think you ought to use a little more sense than what you're using
  C majorC                G+G
And maybe then things would be all right


   FF      C majorC          G+G
Yes, may-be then things would be all right
  G+G            D MajorD
Now I know that I sit and I worry too much
  C majorC                   D MajorD
Especially when you come home such a sight
   G+G                   FF
But I guess what you've got to do, boy, you go ahead and do it
  C majorC               G+G
And I sure hope things will be all right
   FF      C majorC         G+G
Yes
I hope everything will be all right


    G+G                 D MajorD
Now you come back here, you scruffy little brother
    C majorC                 D MajorD
Come on back here and let me kiss you goodnight
     G+G            FF
'cause I know if you were gone I'd miss the sound of laughter

C majorC                 G+G
 That's gonna make everything all right
  FF         C majorC       G+G
Yes, that's gonna make everything all right
