[Verse]
Eb Db Eb Db        Cm     
      He was my brother
Ab                       Bb
  Five years older than I 
Eb Db        Cm     
  He was my brother
Ab             Bb                   Db   Eb
  Twentythree years old the day he died  
Db      Eb    Cm
Freedom rider  
Ab                               Bb  
  They cursed my brother to his face

Go home   outsider

  Mississippi's gonna be your burying place  
Db     Eb         Cm       
He was singing on his knees
Ab                      Bb   
  An angry mob trailed along
Eb   Db   Eb Cm          
They shot my brother dead
Ab Bb                    Cm  Eb   
  Because he hated what was wrong

He was my brother

Ab                            Eb Bb
  Tears can't bring him back to me
Eb Db     Eb Cm     
He he was my brother
       Ab          Bb             Eb     
And he died so his brothers could be free
   Cm     Ab          Bb             Eb      Db Eb
Oh God he died so his brothers could be free
