E  D   E  C#m     A
He was my brother ■

Twentythree years old the day he died ■ ■
D       E C#m7  C#m
Freedom ■ rider ■

He was singing on his knees ■

D      E  C#m     A                   B           E 
He was my brother ■ tears can't bring him back to me
D     E      C#m            A       B                     E   
He he was my brother and he died so his brothers could be free

Oh God he died so his brothers could be free ■ ■
