A/E
     When the light goes out
E
    And you can't go on
A/E
    You miss your brothers
E

   But now they're gone

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

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

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

|E      |  %  |A/E    |  %  |


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

|E          |  %    |A/E         |  %   |

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