Oh Brother Chords & Lyrics - James Taylor

[INTRO]

[E]I'm not much for m[C#m7]aking little w[A+9]ishes
But I'd like a little wish to come [Bsus2]true for you [B]
[E] I'm not talking about loaves [C#m7]and fishes
But I [F#m7]wish that there was s[E/G#]omething I could [A+9]do for [F#m7/B]you [B/C#]
[F#m7] Here's a little bit of c[B/C#]heap advice
To be [F#m7]taken in an hour of need [B/C#]
[F#m7] Don't assume that the [B/C#]life you left
Is the lif[F#m7]e you have to lead[Bsus4]

[VERSE 1]

[G]When you come home what you gonna do
[D7]Oh brother, oh brother
Don't you t[D/F#]ry to deny what you kn[G]ow to be tr[C]ue
The s[D7]ame mess of misery that you done been through
S[D/F#]tanding in line and it's wa[G]iting for y[C]ou
O[D7]ne kiss leads to another[N.C.]
Brother [F#7+5]when you come back h[G]ome[N.C.]

[VERSE 2]

[G]I'd like to know who's knocking on door
[D7]I'd like to know what they come here for
You'd [D/F#]like to say no
But the w[G]ords won't co[C]me
"Come [D7]in and sit down," seem to roll off your tongue
You for[D/F#]get to remember, to n[G]ever die yo[C]ung
[D7]One kiss leads to another
Brother [F#7+5]when you come back h[G]ome[N.C.]

[CHORUS]

Standing in l[Am7]ine, all of your fr[D/E]iends
Standing in l[Am7]ine, [F#7+5]party never e[G]nds
Standing[E/G#] in l[Am7]ine, the river flows, the r[D/E]iver bends
Standing in l[Am7]ine, [F#7+5]all of your frie[G]nds[N.C.]

[VERSE 3]

When y[G]ou come home what you gonna do
[D7]Oh brother, oh brother
Don't you [D/F#]try to deny what you [G]know to be t[C]rue
The s[D7]ame mess of misery that you done been through
[D/F#]Standing in line and it's [G]waiting for [C]you
O[D7]ne kiss leads to an[N.C.]other
Brother[F#7+5] when you come back h[G]ome

[BRIDGE]

And that moon [Bm7]will be [Cadd9]
Moon will be s[E7]hining in the trees, all night long something bound to happen for sure
[Bm7]Soon you'll [Cadd9]be
S[E7]topping by talking to a friend again
Swear you ain't never tasted nothing so pure [D#7] [D7]

[VERSE 4]

Oh w[G]hen you come home what you gonna do my my

Don't you [D/F#]try to deny what you k[G]now to be tr[C]ue
The s[D7]ame mess of misery that you done been through
S[D/F#]tanding in line and it's w[G]aiting for y[C]ou
O[D7]ne kiss leads to anot[N.C.]her
Brother[F#7+5] when you come back h[G]ome[N.C.]

[BRIDGE]

[N.C.]When you come home, your friends are dropping by

[N.C.]When you come home, I tell you no lie
[N.C.]When you come home, they're gonna offer you a line
