[G] [D] [A] [D]
[Em] [D] [A] [D]
[A] [D] Oh brother [G] flower [D] are you listening
Let me [F#m] sing a song [D] for you
Brother [G] flower [D] petals glistening
In the bashful morning dew
[G] Brother flower when the sun shines
And the dew has [D] flown away
If you don't [G] mind we can [D] roam around
Brother [F#m] flower may [D] I stay
Oh [A] [D]
[A] [D] brother [G] flower you [D] ain't lonely
For you've [A] always [D] been alone
But I [G] haven't been [D] so lucky
I had [A] love and now [D] it's [G] gone
I have arms to [D] hold [G] another
Never to hold her [D] again
I have [G] life to [D] give a lover
You have life to give the wind

[Em] [D] Brother flower [G] when the [D] snow flies
And you lay [Em] your beauty [D] down
[G] Brother flower are you [D] sleeping
There upon the cold, cold ground
[G] Brother flower please [D] awaken
[G] Show the sky your face [D] of blue
Let me know [G] I ain't [D] forsaken
Seems like [A] all I have [D] is you
[A] [D] [A] [D] Brother flower [G] are [D] you listening
Let me sing [A] a song for [D] you
Brother flower [G] petals [D] glistening
In the [Em] bashful morning [D] dew
[G] Brother flower when [D] the sun [G] shines
And the dew has flown [D] away
If you don't [G] mind we can [D] roam around
Brother flower may I stay
