[Verse]
        C                   Csus2
Well I pass him by on the street each day
 C                        Csus2
Brother, don't you walk away
      C                 Csus2
He's about my size and about my age
 C                        Csus2
Brother, don't you walk away
        C                        Csus2
Down a different road, might've been my friend
 C                        Csus2
Brother, don't you walk away
         C                  Csus2
But you never know how the road will bend...


[Chorus]
 C                                                 Csus2
Brother, don't you walk, Brother, don't you walk away
 C                        Csus2
Brother, don't you walk away
         C                 Csus2
Tell me why it so hard to say
 C                        Csus2
Brother, don't you walk away

[Verse]
          C                     Am
When you sleep all night on a pillow of stone
 F                        C
Brother, don't you walk away
        Am                    G
Do you dream of finding your way back home
 F                        C
Brother, don't you walk away
      C                    Am
Well some might say these are better days
 F                       C
Brother, don't you walk away
       Am                    G
But a cardboard box is your home these days...

[Verse]
         C                   Am
Now the wind blows hard through the holes in your cap
 F                        C
Brother, don't you walk away
           Am                  G
While I'm safe inside here in luxury's lap
 F                        C
Brother, don't you walk away
        C              Am
So you walk this land in your worn out shoes
 F                        C
Brother, don't you walk away
         Am                   G
Well if this land's mine, is it your land too...

So you look at me with a look so real
 F                        C
Brother, don't you walk away
      Am         G
As I turn away from the things I feel
 F                        C
Brother, don't you walk away
      C              Am
Even here and now as I lie awake
