War Between Brothers

Bm           A
This one's a nobleman
Bm           G
This one's a squire
Bm           F#          A        Bm
One man will sing in the Heavenly Choir
Bm       A            G              Bm
One will descend into Hell's licking fire
G                 F#m
But to tell which is which
           G           A
Would take better than I

Bm           A
This one's a father
Bm               G
And this one's a son
G           F#             A         Bm
One man was right, and the other was wrong
Bm               A           Bm        G
But both of them died in the maddening throng
G          D
Carry them home, boys
G             A
To where they belong

[Chorus]

D           F#m
War between brothers
G             Em
Sire fighting son
D      Bm           G              A
Only division where once there was one
D           F#m
War between brothers
G            Em
Son fighting sire
D             Bm         G       A
Kin laid with kin in the funeral pyre

[Verse]

Bm             A
These two were blinded
   Bm         G
By jealousy's flame
Bm           F#           A        Bm
One pointing fingers, the other to blame
Bm           A            G        Bm
One lived in rage and the other in shame
    G             D
But which was the better
   G         A
Of what they became?

[Chorus]

D           F#m
War between brothers
G             Em
Sire fighting son
D      Bm           G              A
Only division where once there was one
D           F#m
War between brothers
G            Em
Son fighting sire
D             Bm         G       A
Kin laid with kin in the funeral pyre

D           F#m
War between brothers
G             Em
Sire fighting son
D      Bm           G              A
Only division where once there was one
D           F#m
War between brothers
G            Em
Son fighting sire
D             Bm         G       A
Kin laid with kin in the funeral pyre

[Verse]

Bm           A
This one's a bastard
    Bm           G
And that one's a king
Bm              F#        A             Bm
Both fought for power and what it would bring
    Bm            A           G         Bm
But fighting each other, they lost everything
