Em G C
And if you're taking a walk through
D Em
the garden of life
G C
What do you think you'd expect you
D Em
would see?
G C
Just like a mirror reflecting the
D Em
moves of your life
G C D
And in the river reflections of me
Em G C D Em
Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
G C D Em
And in a movement he beckons to me
G C D Em
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
G C D
And all the wounds are reopening again
Em C G D
We're blood brothers 4x
Em G C
And as you look all around at the
D Em
world in dismay
G C
What do you see, do you think we
D Em
have learned
G C
Not if you're taking a look at the
D Em
war-torn affray
G C
Out in the streets where the babies
D
are burned
Em C G D
We're blood brothers 4x
Riff...
Em G C D
There are times when I feel I'm afraid for the world
Em G C C
There are times I'm ashamed of us all
Em G C D
When you're floating on all the emotion you feel
Em G C C
And reflecting the good and the bad
Em G C D Em
Will we ever know what the answer to life really is?
G C C
Can you really tell me what life is?
Em G C D Em
Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you
G C C
Could be swept away by fate's own hand
Em C G D
We're blood brothers 4x
Riff... (Em G C D)4x

(A parte abaixo é cantada junto com a segunda das 3 repetições do solo):
When you think that we've used all our chances
And the chance to make everything right
Keep on making the same old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
When we're living our lives on the edge
Say a prayer on the book of the dead

And if you're taking a walk through
the garden of life
