G Em G D C G



🎸 Verse 1:
   Em         C
Oh brother of mine
     G                C
It’s been a long long time
      Em           G            D
Since I’ve seen my face in your eyes
    Em             C
Oh brother
I’ve returned
      G             C
To my burn scars of birth
    Em        G              D
Charcoal and iron brought me back

🎸 Chorus:
      G
And I left you alone
     Em           G
In a house, not a home
      Em                  G
And I watched the burning grow
      A                D
As my hair filled with gray
     G
From the ashes that fell
              Em        G
The mountains I knew so well
            C                                D
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight
           C           G   C/G
Brother
I watched the sky burn
    Em    C
And all I learned was
C               Am           Em
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease

🎸 Verse 2:
   Em         C
Oh brother
I see
    G         C
You burn like me
    Em            G           Esus4
The singes on our skin like a brand
   Em            C
Oh brother
I confess
         C            G
There is little of me left
      Em                 G             D
That could care about dousing the wildfire

🎸 Chorus:
  G
And I left you alone
     Em           G
In a house, not a home
      Em                  G
And I watched the burning grow
      A                D
As my hair filled with gray
     G
From the ashes that fell
              Em        G
The mountains I knew so well
            C                                D
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight
           C           G   C/G
Brother
I watched the sky burn
    Em    C
And all I learned was
C               Am           Em
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease

🎸 Verse 3:
    Em              C
Oh brother, did you know
          G             C
You could just strike a match
     Em            G             D
Hear him scream my name one last time
   Em            C
Oh brother
I am home
       G            Em
In the fires of our youth
             Em         C            D
I could care less if it hurts you anymore

🎸 Chorus:
  G
And I left you alone
     Em           G
In a house, not a home
      Em                  G
And I watched the burning grow
      A                D
As my hair filled with gray
     G
From the ashes that fell
              Em        G
The mountains I knew so well
            C                                D
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight
           C           G   D
Brother
I watched the sky burn
    Em    C
And all I learned was
Em               Am           Em
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
