[Intro]

C G

[Verse 1]
          F
What's it like on the street?
C G       F
   Do you miss anything?
C                     G
 Down here, we got ourselves in a mess
F
Trying to make a mark, broken man, angry above
C    G       F
 But I still try

[Pre-Chorus]
C                G
 I keep one fight to the outside
F
 That's my trait of you, that's my sunshine
C              G           F
 If I lose step, that is a failing job
C             G              F
 If to save me is to save you, then I'm ready to go

[Chorus]
  C      G              F
Oh, God, please make it over slow
C     G         F
 Back seat, the radio
 C        G             D
Oh, blood brother, it's over soon
            F
And I can't carry you

[Verse 2]
C    G       F
 Hey hey, my my
C          G                        F
 I get the joke but I don't laugh tonight
C      G         F
 Yeah, yeah, sha-sha
C                    G              F
 I'll meet you in forever's parking lot

[Chorus]
 C       G              F
Oh, God, please make it over slow
C           G          F
 Bring back peace, the radio
 C        G             D
Oh, blood brother, it's over soon
            F
And I can't carry you

How to play Blood Brothers: key, chords and progression

Blood Brothers by BLEACHERS is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: C, G, F and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – G – F – C (I – V – IV – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, D, C, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
