He Was My Brother Lyrics & Tabs by Paul Simon

He Was My Brother

guitar chords lyrics

Paul Simon

He was my brother
Five years older than I
He was my brother

Twenty-three Years old the day he died
Freedom writer
They cursed my brother to his face
Go home outsider
This town's gonna be your buryin' place
He was singin' on his knees
An angry mob trailed along
They shot my brother dead
Because he hated what was wrong
He was my brother
Tears can't bnng him back to me
He was my brother

He was my brother
Tears can't bnng him back to me
He was my brother
And he died so his brothers could be free
He died so his brothers could be free
