Keith Whitley - Brotherly Love Chords

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] I was four years old when they [Eb] brought Benji home.
I didn't know what to make of him.
[Ab] In fact, the whole time we were growing up, I was never sure whether to hug him or punch [Gm] him.
It took me 25 years [Cm] to figure it out.
Yeah, he [Ab] used to beat me up.
Half the time I deserved [Bb] it.
But then there were [Eb] times, like when Billy Brady and his friends stole my bike.
[Ab] After Sam got through with him, he didn't come near me for the rest of the [Bbm] year.
It made me [Eb] feel so good.
All I wanted was to be just like him.
_ Benji!
_ [F] Benji!
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[D] Congratulations. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] Thanks.
[B] Thanks for [E] saving me back there, too.
Well, that's what happens when you marry right.
Yeah.
[Dbm] [A] Well, just don't let me ever become like them.
What do you mean, [E] become? _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ You know what?
I'm [E] gonna miss you.
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [E] You said the same last name and the same [A] color eyes. _ _ _
_ [E] But we fought like tigers, for that old [B] red vibe. _ _ _
_ _ [E] I'm batting first and you can't use my glove.
[A] It wouldn't take long [Dbm] until push [B] came to shove.
[A] And we looked out [B] for each other with [E] brotherly love. _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [E] You hated girls till I had my [A] first date. _ _ _
I [E] brought her home from the movies.
You stayed up late.
_ [B] _ _
_ _ [E] Three on the couch, watching TV.
[A] I was smiling at her while [Dbm] you were laughing [B] at me.
[A] But I wouldn't trade it [B] for nothing.
_ [E] Brotherly love. _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ As the [B] bonded brothers go, [E] and it gets stronger [A] as they grow.
[Gbm] A love that time [B] and miles can't come [E] between. _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ [Dbm] We disagree, [B] but in the end, [A] that will never make [E] you closer than [Gbm] this.
And [E] brotherly love [A] is something we all [B] need. _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ [E] They said the same last name and the same [A] color eyes. _ _ _ _
_ [E] But they fight like tigers _ over one old red [B] vibe. _ _ _
_ [E] And looking at them reminds me of us.
[A] They're gonna fight [Dbm] and they're gonna [B] fuss.
[A] But they've got something [B] special.
It's brotherly [E] love.
_ _ [Dbm] _ _
[B] _ [A] Yeah, they've got something [B] special.
It's [E] brotherly love. _ _ _
Have a nice [Abm] life, [A] Daddy.
