My Little Brotherby Roger Guppy


Intro:


[D][Gmaj7][Em][A]


         


Verse 1:




[D]My little [Em]brother is [D]not really re[Asus4]lated,


But a [D]like-minded [Gmaj7]friend who could be [Em]so,[A]


[D]He is [Em]Belgian and [D]I am [Asus4]English,


But it [D]feels as [Gmaj7]though he is my [Em]Bro.[A]




Chorus:

[G]My little [C]brother was out [D]driving his [Bm]car,


When he [C]left the road and [D]crashed into a [G]tree;[Dsus4]


At [G]sixty miles an [C]hour he was [Am]lucky to sur[D]vive,


But he [C]did and he's [D]still here as you [G]see.[A]


Verse 2:




[D]After they [Em]cut him [D]out from the [Asus4]wreck,


It took much [D]surgery to [Gmaj7]mend his shattered [Em]frame, [A]


And [D]many years [Em]later he still [D]suffers great [Asus4]pain,


Sadly his [D]life will[Gmaj7] never be the [Em]same.[A]





Chorus:

[G]My little [C]brother was out [D]driving his [Bm]car,


When he [C]left the road and [D]crashed into a [G]tree;[Dsus4]


At [G]sixty miles an [C]hour he was [Am]lucky to sur[D]vive,


But he [C]did and he's [D]still here as you [G]see.[A]


Verse 3:




Once a [D]proud and skilled [Em]doctor, a [D]Doctor of Medi[Asus4]cine,


He healed the [D]sick, he [Gmaj7]eased their pain and [Em]strife,[A]


But [D]that is histo[Em]ry and [D]he cannot go [Asus4]back,


No work [D]ever so now [Gmaj7]music is his [Em]life.[A]




Chorus:

[G]My little [C]brother was out [D]driving his [Bm]car,


When he [C]left the road and [D]crashed into a [G]tree;[Dsus4]


At [G]sixty miles an [C]hour he was [Am]lucky to sur[D]vive,


But he [C]did and be[D]came a brother to [G]me.

Re: "My Little Brother"

Very nice Roger. Touching. I think I may know who your bro' is. wink

All you guys who pour out your feelings in song amaze me. I'm a little too private (uptight?), guarded, whatever. I'll have to work on that.

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: "My Little Brother"

Thanks, Jeff, Ken and Ark,

I have not given him a preview before posting it. I wrote and recorded it yesterday and did not get it uploaded until late so I sent him an e-mail directing him to it. It will be a surprise, a pleasant one I hope, but if not I can always delete it.
