One person dead from such is plenty

No need to go get locked away


Am      G         C
When I leave your arms
Am             G         C
The things that I think of
Am         G         C
No need to get over alarmed
Am   G     C
I'm comin' home

(Repeats Intro)

I wonder which brother is better

Which one our parents love the most

I sure did get in lots of trouble
F              G            C
They seemed to let the other go


Am      G                    C
A tear fell from my father's eyes
Am         G                 C
I wondered what my dad would say
Am        G
He said I love you
        F            C                G          C
And I'm proud of you both, in so many different ways

Go read the letter in my desk
C        C/B             C/A        C/G
Don't bother with all my belongings
F              G            C
But pay attention to the list


Am         G                 C
Make sure my sister knows I loved her

Make sure my mother knows the same
Am       G                  F           C
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing
         C                G         C
Like the love that let us share our name
Am       G                  F           C
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing
         C                G         C
Like the love that let us share our name
