Brothers Keeper

Am C F

[Verse 1]
C                                            F      Am
Ladies and gents, fold your tents, 'cause we have a winner
C                                     F     Am
Come see your Jane try to train every devil in her
        C                         F         Am
There's not a man alive who could tame this creature
           C                                    F         Am
You better leave the professor behind, see what time will teach her

    F                  G            C      F
And when we've all collected a spectacular sum
      F            G                 C        F
We'll get a little glimpse of the disaster to come

[Chorus]
        Am           G
You can justify what happens then
       C                  F
'Cause how could you have known
          Am                     G
Leave the dust to dust and say "amen"
     C             F
Put "sorry" on the stone
       Am                     Em
You're not not your brother's keeper, now
     C                F
Your brother's on his own
Am         C       F                    Am
    That's how the seeds of avarice are sown

[Verse 2]
C                                           F      Am
Shit's just a trick and each week's full of compromises
C                                           F       Am
She'll push for a fish like a seal clapping for its prizes
        C                         F         Am
There's not a man alive who could wake this sleeper
            C                                             F      Am
Oh, tie the rope, hide the dope, sure there's hope, but denial's cheaper

    F                  G            C      F
And when we've all collected a spectacular sum
      F            G                 C        F
We'll get a little glimpse of the disaster to come

[Chorus]
        Am           G
You can justify what happens then
       C                  F
'Cause how could you have known
          Am                     G
Leave the dust to dust and say "amen"
     C             F
Put "sorry" on the stone
       Am                     Em
You're not not your brother's keeper, now
     C                F
Your brother's on his own
Am         C       F                    Am
    That's how the seeds of avarice are sown

[Bridge]
(1 single strum per chord)

    Em              Em        Am         Am      F   C
And after the fail, you can wail as they drag the river
Em                          Am                   F    C
Silence the band, wring the hand that you didn't give her
    F                             C
And every man alive has to sign a waiver
F        C                                       F        Am
To put a coin in the plate, so that fate won't return the favor

[Final Chorus]
(Back to normal strumming pattern)

        Am          G
You can justify, oh yes you can
       C            F
You've got the microphone
          Am               G
Tell them dust is dust and men are men
    C           F
And men all act alone
       Am                 Em
You're not your brother's keeper, now
     C                F
Your brother's on his own
Am         C       F                    Am
    That's how the seeds of avarice are sown
C       F
How the seeds of avarice are sown
