Repeat the G-F-C-Am pattern:
God, my brother's been dead ever since
I didn't beleive it, but when I saw him I was convinced
Two to the head he was already dead Lord,
I headed for revenge in the city of Port Au Prince
Repeat the Am-F-G-Am pattern:
Screaming bro-brother
don't you know that we can't stop the violence, no
Because the war is not over
until you can feel love, peace, and silence
