Brothers Chords by Mary Gauthier

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Wore my baby from my breast, now my name [A] and rank cover my chest
23 [E] hours I flew and went, 23 _ hours I never _ slept
[E] Wiped my face, changed my soaking bra, tore my [A] body not to feel at all
Tried to be like you, what must I do to [B] prove that I'm a brother [E] too?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I bought _ RPGs with _ fireworks, that's how green I was at [E] first
Blood blistered feet, _ black and blue, I slid inside my blood filled [A] boots
70 [E] pound pack, pushed you on my back, spilled my blood on the road
Man I carried my load, kept you in my view, high for you
Don't that make [B] me a brother too? _
_ _ It's okay to [C#m] cry, that's what you say, but if I [A] do I'm damned anyway
I learned [E] to cry without it's sound, cause I'm [B] afraid you'll put me _ down _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ You broke my [E] heart on Veterans Day, don't you _
[A] understand a word you say
You [E] raised a flag for the men who served, what about [A] the women, what do we deserve?
I was [E] just like you when the bullets flew, I had [A] your back, you had mine too
[E] Brothers in arms, your sisters covered you, don't that make us your brother too? _
_ _ _ _ Say it for me, say it for you, your sisters [B]
are your brothers [E] too _ _ _
