Oh Brother

	  		D 
You've got eyes like Jesus 
        G  
But you speak with a viper's tongue  
D 
We were just sitting around on earth 
          G  
Where the hell did you come from? 
      D  
With your lady dressed in deerskin 
       G  
And an amazing way about her 
D  
When are you going to realize 
     Em 
That you just can't live without her? 

        D    Dsus4   D 
Take it easy  
        Em 
Take it light  
     G 
But take it.... 

     D 
Your lady gets her powers 
         G 
From the goddess and the stars 
D  
You get yours from the trees and the brooks 
      G  
And a little from life on Mars 
    D  
And I've known you for a good long while 
              G  
And would you kindly tell me, mister 
D  
How in the name of the Father and the Son 
      Em 
Did I come to be your sister? 
         
        D       Dsus4  D 
Take it easy  
        Em 
Take it light 
    G  
But take it 

D 
You've done dirt to lifelong friends 
     G  
With little or no excuses 
D  
Who endowed you with the crown 
   G  
To hand out these abuses? 
D  
Your lady knows about these things 
    G  
But they don't put her under 
D  
Me, I know about them, too 
      Em  
And I react like thunder 

        D     Dsus4 D 
Take it easy 
        Em  
Take it light 
    G  
But take it 

D 
I know you are surrounded 
   G  
By parasites and sycophants 
D  
When I come to see you 
      G  
I dose up on coagulants 
        D  
Because when you hurl that bowie knife 
              G  
It's going to be when my back is turned 
D  
Doing some little deed for you 
    Em  
And baby, will I get burned 

         D     Dsus4  D 
Take it easy 
        Em  
Take it light 
         G  
But take it 

D 
So little brother when you come 
   G    /f# Em D 
To knock on my door 
D  
I don't want to bring you down 
      G  
But I just went through the floor 
   D  
My love for you extends through life 
    G 
And I don't want to waste it 
    D  
But honey, what you've been dishing out 
      G  
You'd never want to taste it 
D  
And if I had the nerve  
          G 
To either risk it or to break it 
    D  
I'd put our friendship on the line  
    Em 
And show you how to take it 

   D    Dsus4 D 
...Easy 
   Em  
...Light 
       G  
But to take it
