[Verse 1]
Em
Oh brother of mine
C
It’s been a long long time
G D Dadd9
Since I’ve seen my face in your eyes
Em
Oh brother, I’ve returned
C G
To my burn scars of birth
D Dadd9
Charcoal and iron brought me back
[Chorus]
Em
And I left you alone
C
In a house, not a home
G
And I watched the burning grow
D
As my hair filled with gray
Em
From the ashes that fell
C G
The mountains I knew so well
C
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of
D
midnight
C G C/G
Brother, I watched the sky burn
Em
And all I learned was
C Am Em
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
[Verse 2]
Em
Oh brother, I see
C
You burn like me
G D Dadd9
The singes on our skin like a brand
Em
Oh brother, I confess
C
There is little of me left
G
That could care about dousing the
D
wildfire
[Chorus]
Em
And I left you alone
C G
In a house, not a home
C G
And I watched the burning grow
D
As my hair filled with gray
Em
From the ashes that fell
C G
The mountains I knew so well
C G
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of
D
midnight
C G C/G
Brother, I watched the sky burn
Em C
And all I learned was
C Am Em
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
[Verse 3]
Em *
Oh brother, did you know

You could just strike a match
G * D Dadd9
Hear him scream my name one last time
Em
Oh brother, I am home
C
In the fires of our youth
G
I could care less if it hurts you
D Dadd9
anymore
[Chorus]
Em
And I left you alone
C G
In a house, not a home
C G
And I watched the burning grow
D
As my hair filled with gray
Em
From the ashes that fell
C G
The mountains I knew so well
C G
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of
D
midnight
C G C/G
Brother, I watched the sky burn
Em C
And all I learned was
C Am Em
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
