D      C          D  Bm       
He-e-e-e   was my brother 

G                      A            
 Five years older than I 

D      C          D  Bm       
He-e-e-e   was my brother 

G                   A               D       C     D            
 Twenty-three years old  the day he died 


D     C      D     Bm       
Fre-e-e-edom rider 

G                              A              
 They cursed my brother to his face 

D     C           D     Bm       
Go        home outsider 

G                    A                D        C     D            
 Mississippi's gonna be  your buryin' place 


D      C               D            Bm      
He-e-e-e   was singin' on his knees 

G                      A              
 An angry mob trailed along 

D       C           D            Bm      
They        shot my brother dead 

G           A              Bm     D   C     D            
 Because he hated what was wrong 


D      C          D  Bm       
He-e-e-e   was my brother 

G                              A            
 Tears can't bring him back to me 

D     C          D 
He  -  He was my  brother 

        G           A                 D 
 And he died so his brothers could be free 

    Bm      G           A                 D       C     D   
Oh, God, he died so his brothers could be free
