Brothers Song Ukulele Chords

[Verse]
F                      Am            G                     F
So the air's getting colder and the news keeps us scared.
                       Am             G                             F
I still wrestle this summer from the bones of our tired, blistered hands.
                       Am                 G                  F
'Cause tonight we got drinks, and just a couple of friends.
         Am                   G                                F
And the girl that my brother likes is finally talking to him.
         Am             G                                F
And his chest is all swelled like he's proud and happy.
                       G
Like he's got a great idea, like he's making a memory.
 
[Chorus]
C                  Am         G
Wake up, and come out to the car.
            C                           Am               G        F
There's an East swell coming and it's howling off shore and we'll be...
Am          G                F
Lying like lions out in the sand.
     Am                            G
And I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hands.
 
[Verse]
F                      Am          G               F
So we make jokes back home and we lighten the mood.
                    Am                G                                        F
But growing up our parents saw what sending the kids to fight could really do.
                  Am                        G                F
And now with the war I can tell they're a little shook up.
                            Am               G                F
'Cause just a few mothers' sons will never really be enough.
                      Am               G                 F
Not 'til half of our names are etched out in the wall...
                       G
...and the other half ruined from the things we saw.
 
[Chorus]
C                  Am         G
Wake up, and come out to the car.
            C                           Am               G        F
There's an East swell coming and it's howling off shore and we'll be...
Am          G                F
Lying like lions out in the sand.
     Am                            G
And I'll be dead before you put a gun in my brother's hands.
