Verse 1
(D major) (D minor) (Dsus4) (C major) (Dsus4) There
were
(D major) seven (D minor) brothers sat by the road
And (D major) everyone was (Gsus2) dressed in (G major) black
They (F major) smiled at everyone (G major) who passed
They (A major) smiled at (A minor) them, but none smiled (D major) back
A stranger (D minor) passed along the (D major) road
Says that first brother, he'll (G major) be mine soon
I'll (F major) clot the blood within
(G major) his veins
And his heart (A major) will burst (A minor) like a
child's balloon (D major)
Another stranger (D minor) passed them by
Says that (D major) second brother,
soon (G major) he will moan
He'll feel (F major) the cloth (D minor) dig
at (G major) his bowels
And he'll (Asus4) pray to the (A minor) God he's
never known (D major) (D minor) (D major) (Dsus4)
(C major) (D major)
Nothing strange (D minor) a person by
just a (D major) third brother
A (G major) job's in hand, with corrup (F major) tion
I'll fill (G major) his lungs and he'll drown
(A major) stand (A minor) ing on dry (D major) land
Another stranger (D minor) passes him by,
says the (D major) fourth brother, the (G major) seed is sown
I'll (F major) darken his mind with (G major) helplessness,
and the (A major) hand and the (A minor) gun will (A major) be his (D major) own (D minor) (Asus4)
(Dsus4) (Gsus2) (G major) (A major) (C major) (Dsus4) (D major)
Another (D minor) stranger passed them by
Says the (D major) fifth brother, his (G major) race is wrong
I'll send (F major) his car to (G major) the edge of the cliff
And (A major) friends will (A minor) mourn
he died too (D major) young
Another (D minor) stranger pass them by,
(D major) says the sixth brother, he'll (G major) try to hide
His (F major) teal up crack in (G major) pain endure,
but (A major) still the plague will get (A minor) inside
(D major) Another stranger (D minor) pass them by,
says the sev (D major) enth brother,
this (G major) one I'll reap
(F major) Peacefully, in his (G major) old age,
his (A major) breath will (A minor) fal ter in his sleep. (D major)
(Dsus4) (D major) (Dsus4) (G major) (F major) (G major)
(A major) (D major)
There were seven broth (D minor) ers out by the (D major) road,
watching the (D minor) human (G major) promenade.
Filling (F major) their (D minor) appointment (G major) books,
(A major) working at their father (A minor) 's tread (D major)
There were seven brothers up (D minor) on the (D major) road,
and none could look them (G major) in the eye
A (F major) scent of shiver through (G major) the bones
of (A major) every soul who passed them (D major) by (D minor)
(D major) (Dsus4) (F major) (D minor) (G major) (Asus4)
You
Seven Brothers
