🎸 Verse :

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

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


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



🎸 Interlude:

G D C F C G G





🎸 Verse :

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


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


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

C                                  G
  That's gonna make everything all right
    F                  C              G
Yes, that's gonna make everything all right
