Kevin Devine – Brothers Blood (Guitar)

            Am
My Brothers Blood boils in my arms.

         C
Balls my fingers into fists.

           Dm
It bubbles blisters burns my palms.

               G
It floods with fury fights and fits.

             Am
It's got the good guy in me hiding.

            C
It kicks my humble heart around.

            Dm
It's got me fiending for the fire

           G
That could finish off this town.

            Am
My brothers blood on the cherry tree.

             C
It stains to bark from branch to root.

           Dm
It puddles thick with pits and leaves.

              G
It stains the sweetness from the fruit.

            Am
It's got me looking for communion.

            C
Some hiding spot off underground.

        Dm
An open plot I could climb into.

        G
A lightning promise in my mouth.

            C                G
A black out oath I swore and meant.

           Dm         Am
I couldn't conger up again.

        C        G     F        E        Am
I don't know one thing about my brother's blood.

    G
No, oh.

        Am             E                  Am
I don't know one thing about my brother's blood.

                  Am
It's my brother's blood in my dirty lung.

               C
On my crooked mouth and my swollen tongue.

              Dm
On my fathers gun. On each strangers face.

                      G
Across the blue bird sky. On every hand I shake.

             Am
Night after night, on each chuckled prayer.

              C
Such sweet relief, my fist full of hair.

                    Dm
And each desperate drug for elusive peace.

                    G
And every endless night and every wasted week.

            Am
All that dialogue doubling back on me.

                   C
All that tangled talk. All my growling need.

                   Dm
It's my brother's back. It's my father's arms

                G
Every twisted fact. In my sorry heart. (My sorry heart.)

              C                     G
I spit and I scream 'What's done is done'.

              Dm             Am
Go make your peace with everyone.

        C        G     F        E        Am
I don't know one thing about my brother's blood.

    G
No, oh.

        Am             E                  Am
I don't know one thing about my brother's blood.
