Hey brothers, hear me call

It ain't that I had to fall

Wasn't no one's fault last night

When I looked up and felt the light

Here's hoping you'll understand

I want to feel like a natural man

Get up early in the morning to do what I can

You can't help no one with money
Dm
If you can't with your hands
[Chorus]
C F Dm C
And you got to be there brothers, yes you do
C D G
If the world is turning under you

Ain't no good to sit around

And bring it up or down
C Am F C
You got to be there brothers, yes you do
C E Am C

Hey brothers, now and then

And all the people in the world

Can make it better again

And it ain't easy, yes I know

It's a hard and rugged road

Ain't no good to sit around

And bring it up or down

You got to be there brothers, yes you do
