ONCE WERE BROTHERS


|E MajorE   | % |A/EA/E  | % |

|E MajorE   | % |A/EA/E  | % |

A/EA/E
   When the light goes out
E MajorE
  And you can't go on
A/EA/E
  You miss your brothers
E MajorE
  But now they're gone

E MajorE E/#G A augmentedA
      When the light goes out
E/G#
   We go our own way
F# minorF#m
   Nothing here but darkness
A/BA/B
   No reason to stay

E MajorE        C# minorC#m
 Oh, once we're brothers
E/B     A augmentedA
  Brothers no more
E MajorE       C#m7C#m7
  We lost a connection
E/B    A augmentedA
  After the war

E MajorE        C# minorC#m
 There'll be no revival
E/B       A augmentedA
 There'll be no one cold
E MajorE      C#m7C#m7
 Once were brothers
E/B       A augmentedA
  Brothers no more

|E MajorE   | % |A/EA/E  | % |


A/EA/E
  When that curtain comes down
E MajorE
  We'll let go of the past
A/EA/E
  Tomorrow's another day
E MajorE
  Some things weren't meant to last

E MajorE E/G# A augmentedA
      When that curtain comes down
E/G#
   On the final act
F# minorF#m
   And you know, you know deep inside
A/BA/B
  There's no goin' back

E MajorE      C# minorC#m
 Once were brothers
E/B       A augmentedA
  Brothers no more
E MajorE       C# minorC#m
  We lost our way
E/B    A augmentedA
  After  the war

E MajorE         C# minorC#m
  Can't even re member
E/B           A augmentedA
  What we're fighting for
E MajorE         C#m7C#m7
  When once were brothers
E/B     A augmentedA
  Brothers no more

C# minorC#m
   We already had it out
E/B
  Between the north and south
C# minorC#m
  When we heard all the laughs
A augmentedA
  Comin' out of your mouth

C#m7C#m7
  But we stood together
E/B
  Like we were next of kin
C#m7C#m7                A augmentedA
  And when the band played dixie(Dixie, dixie, dixie)
    A/BA/B
The came marchin' in

E MajorE      C# minorC#m
  Once were brothers
E/B      A augmentedA
  Brothers no more
E MajorE       C#m7C#m7
  We lost our connection
E/B     A augmentedA
  After the war

E MajorE          C# minorC#m
  There'll be no revival
E/B       A augmentedA
  There'll be no encore
E MajorE      C# minorC#m
  Once were brothers
E/B     A augmentedA
  Brothers no more

|E MajorE     | %  |A/EA/E     | %  |
 oh oh oh oh     oh oh oh oh

|E MajorE      | % | % | % |
 oh oh oh oh
