[Verse 1]
I asked [Am]my mother,
[G]why do you [F]cry?
She said your [Am]brother[F][C]

Well I told him not to [G]go [F]outside
He said he had to [Fm]fight
for his [C]country's [Am]right
But don't you know [F]that
[G]mo- [Am]mother

[Verse 2]
[Am]Don't you know that [F]we can't
[G]stop the vi[Am]olence, no
Because the [F]war [G]is not ove[Am]r
Un[D]til [Dm]you can [F]feel love,
[G]peace, and hear si[Am]lence
But I smell gunpowder (pow)

[Verse 3]
My [Am]brother's been [G]dead ever [F]since
I didn't beleive [Am]it,
[F]but when I saw[C] him I was con[G]vinced[Am]

was [G]already dead [F]Lord
I headed for revenge [Fm]in the ci[C]ty
of [Am]Port Au Prince
[F]Screaming [G]bro- [Am]brother

[Verse 4]
[Am]Don't you know that [F]we can't
[G]stop the vi[Am]olence, no

and hear si[Am]lence
But I smell gunpowder (pow)

I wanna know [G]why ghetto people pray for [Am]a new day Hey,

And its [F]still the same way
But [Am]the preacher man told me

Good [F]things come to [Dm]those [Am]who wait
