Brother, brother, brother
                     C#m7

You see, war is not the answer
                   C#m7
For only love can conquer hate 
                F#m7
You know we've got to find a way      
               A/B             B13
To bring some lovin' here today

Mother, mother,

Everybody thinks we're wrong 
         Emaj7      
Oh, but who are they to judge us
                    C#m7
Simply because our hair is long 
                    F#m7
Oh, you know we've got to find a way 
                     A/B               B13
