Five Brothers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]
Five brothers [D#dim]who left Arkan[B]sas

[Verse 1]
[Bb]Set out [B]to find [Em]the gambler
Who murdered their pa
[Am]Five

[Verse 2]
brothers and [Em]three
in their teens
[G]Gotta find the man
Who killed their [Em]pa in New Orleans

[Verse 3]
They heard of him in Houston
And his [B]trail was leadin' west
He'd [Em]left there many

[Verse 4]
months ago

[Verse 5]
And so they couldn't rest
[Am]Five brothers and [Em]three
in their teens
[G]Gotta find the man

[Verse 6]
Who killed their [Em]pa
in New Orleans
[Fm]New Orleans

[Verse 7]
The [Fm]sun was hot as fire
And the [C]nights were cold

[Verse 8]
as steel
[Fm]Hate was strong and

[Verse 9]
youth was wild
[Fm]And so they couldn't feel
[Bbm]Five brothers and t[Fm]hree
in their teens
Gotta find [G#]the man
Who killed their [Fm]pa in New Orleans

[Verse 10]
His trail led to the Badlands
And the desert [C]promised death
The gam[Fm]bler's odds were

[Verse 11]
different now

[Verse 12]
He treasured every breath
[Bbm]Five brothers and three[Fm]
in their teens
[G#]Close behind the man

[Verse 13]
Who killed their [Fm]pa
in New Orleans
[F#m]New Orleans

[Verse 14]
When [F#m]first they saw the killer

[Verse 15]
He was by the waterhole
[C#]Five rifle[F#m]s rang out through the night
They killed the gambler cold
[Bm]Five

[Verse 16]
brothers and [B]three [F#m]in their teens

[Verse 17]
Fi[G#]nally got the man
Who killed their [Fm]pa in[F] New Orleans
[F#m]

[Verse 18]
The desert is their keeper now
For [C#]this a traveler said
That [F#m]poison lived within

[Verse 19]
the hole

[Verse 20]
Now six of them are dead
[Bm]Five brothers and thre[F#m]e
in their teens
[G#]Lay beside the man

[Verse 21]
Who killed their [Fm]pa in New Orl[F]eans

[Verse 22]
[F#m]Lay be[A]side the man
Who killed their [F#m]pa in New

[Verse 23]
Or[C#m]leans[F#m]
