 hill       and we were            Now there's
             women and men          so much that


 D                             Bm
 time  time and memory fade away  we got our own roads to ride
 A          D
 and chances we gotta take

         G                D
 We stood side by side  each one fightin' for the other
         Bm        A    D
 We said until we died we'd always be blood brothers

2.            D
 Now the hardness of this world  slowly grinds your dreams away
         Bm   A            D
 Makin' a fool's joke  out of the promises we make
                D
 And what once seemed black and white  turns to so many shades of gray
               Bm  A
 We lose ourselves in work to do   work to do and bills to pay

           G              D
 And it's a ride ride ride  and there ain't much cover
               Bm  A      D
 With no-one runnin' by your side  my blood brother

 (harmonica break with verse chords)
               G                 D
 On through the houses of the dead  past those fallen on their tracks
        G             A
 Always movin' ahead  and never lookin' back

3.
(A)           D  (etc. like the other verses)
 Now I don't know how I feel  I don't know how I feel tonight
 If I've fallen 'neath the wheel, if I've lost or gained sight
 I don't even know why, I don't know why I made this call
 Or if any of this matters anymore after all

 But the stars are burnin' bright like some mystery uncovered
 I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart
 My blood brother
