Oh Brother Chords

(ver. 1)
Joan Baez
D
You've got eyes like Jesus
        G 
But you speak with a viper's tongue 
D
We were just sitting around on earth
          G 
Where the hell did you come from?
      D 
With your lady dressed in deerskin
       G 
And an amazing way about her
D 
When are you going to realize
     Em
That you just can't live without her?

        D    Dsus4   D
Take it easy 
        Em
Take it light 
     G
But take it....

     D
Your lady gets her powers
         G
From the goddess and the stars
D 
You get yours from the trees and the brooks
      G 
And a little from life on Mars
    D 
And I've known you for a good long while
              G 
And would you kindly tell me, mister
D 
How in the name of the Father and the Son
      Em
Did I come to be your sister?
        
        D       Dsus4  D
Take it easy 
        Em
Take it light
    G 
But take it

D
You've done dirt to lifelong friends
     G 
With little or no excuses
D 
Who endowed you with the crown
   G 
To hand out these abuses?
D 
Your lady knows about these things
    G 
But they don't put her under
D 
Me, I know about them, too
      Em 
And I react like thunder

        D     Dsus4 D
Take it easy
        Em 
Take it light
    G 
But take it

D
I know you are surrounded
   G 
By parasites and sycophants
D 
When I come to see you
      G 
I dose up on coagulants
        D 
Because when you hurl that bowie knife
              G 
It's going to be when my back is turned
D 
Doing some little deed for you
    Em 
And baby, will I get burned

         D     Dsus4  D
Take it easy
        Em 
Take it light
         G 
But take it

D
So little brother when you come
   G    /f# Em D
To knock on my door
D 
I don't want to bring you down
      G 
But I just went through the floor
   D 
My love for you extends through life
    G
And I don't want to waste it
    D 
But honey, what you've been dishing out
      G 
You'd never want to taste it
D 
And if I had the nerve 
          G
To either risk it or to break it
    D 
I'd put our friendship on the line 
    Em
And show you how to take it

   D    Dsus4 D
...Easy
   Em 
...Light
       G 
But to take it
