C  F      A#2          C   A#      F2 
 
         C               F              A#2 
Now the plumber's got a drip in his spigot 
       C               A#2         F 
The mechanic's got a clank in his car 
         C                   F                 G7 
And the preacher's thinking thoughts that are wicked 
         Am7           F      G7sus G7 
And the lover's got a lonely heart 
C2                                    A  
My friends ain't the way I wish they 
 
were. They are just the way they are 
 
Chorus: 
C             A#2        F     Dm7            G7sus G7 
I will be my brother's keeper, not the one who judges him 
C                    A#2       F      Dm7                G7sus    G7 
I won't despise him for his weakness, I won't regard him for his strength 
A#2             F             Dm7                G7 
I won't take away his freedom, I will help him learn to stand 
    C              A#2     F         Dm7 
And I will, I will be my brother's keeper 
 
  C  F      A#2          C   A#      F2 
Now this roof has got a few missing shingles 
But at least we got ourselves a roof 
And they say that she's a fallen angel 
I wonder if she recalls when she last flew 
There's no point in pointing fingers unless you're pointing to the truth 
 
CHORUS (2x) 
 C
