Verse 1  P.m. (mainly the whole song is played with a slight palm muting)
G5
My little baby brother used to play down on the floor

He's got a funny habit and I don't know why

He walks around the ceiling now, stepping on the flies


Chorus p.m.
C5                G5
Baby brother, baby brother
           C5
Well he learned to crawl

On the kitchen wall
         G5
Baby brother


Verse 2 p.m.
G5
Well just the other day, well-a bless-a my soul
G5
I found him swimming round in the goldfish bowl
C5
Since nobody told him that he hadn't oughta
G5 n.c.
He swam around for hours, with his head underwater


Chorus p.m.

Baby brother, baby brother
