Dear Brother

Am Dear brother F When you gonna call back your mother? C She thinks you're sleeping in the gutter G We both know you can do better Am When you gonna write your older brother? A letter F C Hey man I miss you, gettin my shit together And for the record G I wrote this note as a reminder Am That hermano mio there's a future We can believe in F C G It's gonna take more than songs of justice and freedom, ooh yeah Am F There's a future, we can believe in C G Gonna take more than songs of justice and freedom Freedom! Yeah Am If you're thinking, about leaving F Hold my hand, understand this too can be a kingdom C Blessed And when the rain comes G Am Put your hands in the dirt, baba this is where you came from This is where you came from F This is where you came from C G This is where you came from Am System's broken, no fucks given F Wealthy people living off the backs of the broken C Dreams of America G Dreams of America Am Need a pipe carrier F C Let me smudge you off so the vision can get clearer G Your mother's crying boy, can you hear her? F G Am F What I see, in you G C A young tree bearing fruit F G Am F Place to start G C Don't hide behind your heart F G C You gotta put down the weight F G C You gotta get out of your way F G C You gotta put down the weight F G C You gotta get out of your way Am Dear lover F You can find me on the front lines covered C In the blood and tears of another Brother, sister, mother G Revolutions being broadcast on Facebook and Twitter Am There's a noise F I can hear it when the megaphone roars C Wipe the tears from this tear gas choice G Stand in front of your fear, baby, time to find your voice Am It's a story F A love story We can believe in C G Death, birth, your life's worth is trending Am It's a story F A love story C G How vain are we to expect a happy ending? Am I got my hands up F Follow directions, still they shoot us C I'm fucking sick and tired of no justice No peace G Am Promise me I'll never pick your body off the streets We're all taking heat here F (woah) C G The trust is broken, I don't get these police Am Disenfranchised step in to a new life F Maybe if you listen to the wind there's a war cry C Peace in America G Peace in America Am Be decent America F C G I'm begging you F G Am F What I see, in you G C A young tree bearing fruit F G Am F Place to start G C Don't hide behind your heart F G C You gotta put down the weight F G C You gotta get out of your way F G C You gotta put down the weight F G C You gotta get out of your way
