Chorus:
D MajorD       C2    G+G   E minor 7Em7      A7sus A7A7
I will be my brother's keeper, not the one who judges him
D MajorD          C2    G+G   E minor 7Em7        A7sus  A7A7
I won't despise him for his weakness, I won't regard him for his strength
C2       G+G       E minor 7Em7        A7A7
I won't take away his freedom, I will help him learn to stand
  D MajorD       C2   G+G     E minor 7Em7
And I will, I will be my brother's keeper

D MajorD G+G   C2     D MajorD  C majorC   G2

Now this roof has got a few missing shingles
But at least we got ourselves a roof
And they say that she's a fallen angel
I wonder if she recalls when she last flew
There's no point in pointing fingers unless you're pointing to the truth
