C              E       F
Hey brothers,  hear me call
                F#m          Fm
It ain't that I had to fall
                F     C    Am
Wasn't no one's fault last night
D            Gm                  G 
When I looked up and felt the light

C             E                 Am 
Here's hoping you'll understand
F         Dm   G      C
I want to feel like a natural man
E        Am           F          Dm G      C 
Get up early in the morning to do what I can
                           F
You can't help no one with money
       Dm
If you can't with your hands

               C        F         Dm         C
And you got to be there brothers, yes you do
                D             G
If the world is turning under you
         C
Ain't no good to sit around
    F              D
And bring it up or down
           C        Am        F           C
You got to be there brothers, yes you do

C             E       Am 
Hey brothers, now and then
F                      Dm     G 
There's something that oughta move you
C   
More than a pen
E         Am                F         
You don't need no school or knowledge
           Dm        G       C       
You've got something else to lend
                          F     
And all the people in the world
            Dm            
Can make it better again

             C     F     C      
And it ain't easy, yes I know
                D      G    
It's a hard and rugged road
         C                         
Don't be swindled, don't be fooled
        F               D     
Just be honest and stay cool

                  C      G     Am        F       C   
'Cause you got to be there brothers, yes you do
                D             G    
If the world is turning under you
         C                  
Ain't no good to sit around
    F              D     
And bring it up or down
           C       G     Am        F        
You got to be there brothers, yes you do
