[D] [A] [F#m] [A]
[D] [A] [F#m]
[E] [A] [N] You said something that I really strongly know too, which is that music is spirit.
Like music is spiritual and music is its own kind of religion too because of the way that it can
surpass people's guards around their hearts.
Probably the one unifying factor of all
world's faces that there are times when large groups of people get together and sing.
[G#m] So you're going to do a coffee cover for us here on the Coffee House.
It's called Brothers in Arms.
It's actually one of my favorite Dire Straits songs and [C] I love Dire Straits.
[F] [G]
[C]
These high [Fm] misty [G] mountains are home [C] now for me.
My [Am] home's in the [Em]
lowlands.
[D] Our ways [F] will be [D] [G]
someday [Am] you'll return [Bm] [Em] to your fields and [F] your farms.
[D] [G]
You'll no longer [Am] burn to [F] be brothers [G] in arms.
As a performer, that [E] connection that you have with the audience, that's what you're going for,
right?
You're going for that kind of mutual [G] [Em] understanding, connection, even elation you
can sometimes have as a [C] performer walking off stage and you are literally in bliss.
There [Am] [E] are shifting rooms and there's different times you're playing and there's different
eras in your life, but no matter what, you're looking for [F] one moment [G] that always makes it the
same.
And if you find that, then you feel like [C] you've had the peak moment.
[B] And done your [E] job. Yeah.
[Em]
And the fear [F] and alarm,
[D] [G] you did not [Am] desert me, [C] my [G] brothers in arms.

[F] [Em]
[G] [C]
[Am] [G]
[C] [G]
Our sun's [F] gone to hell [G] and the moon's on the [C] rise.
So I bid [Am] you farewell.
[Em]
Every man [G] has [F] to die, [D] [G]
but it's written [A] in
[Em] starlight.
In every line on [F] your palm.
[D] [G] We are fools to [Am] make war [C] on our brothers [G] in arms.
We are [D] fools to make [Am] war [C] on our brothers [G] in arms.
We are fools to [Am] make war [D] on [C] our brothers in [G] arms.
