_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ Burnside he stood at the curb by the gate _ _ Bag and his coat by his side
And _ he thought to himself, useless brother be late
_ As he scanned the dawn horizon [A] for a light As he [E] scanned the dawn for a light _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Burnside he walked over to the driver's door And _ embraced his brother dear
_ _ _ Where to, where to? _
Put your foot to the floor _ _
Anywhere that is [A] warm and far from here _ _ [E]
Anywhere that's far from here
[Em] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Burnside he sat with a bottle in hand The landscape passed by his eye
_ _ _ He said these last ten years, they've been like dripping sand
So slowly the time passes here [A] inside So slowly time passes inside _ _ _

_ _ _ _ Tell me where have you been to my own brother dear
That you could never visit on me _ _ _ _ _ I beg so he come, but not Major Newine _
Without mother being so unwell [A] you see [E] Without mother so ill you see _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ What of my boy, my brother so dear Have you seen him tucked up safe in bed
_ _ _ I've not heard a word from him for five years Nor seen not one of the [A] heads on his head
[E] Nor seen not one hair on his head _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ What of my Janet, my brother so dear _
Has she cared herself just for me _ _ _ You Janet left hell for everywhere that you walked
_ He's a grim and lonely reminder [A] of thee He's [B] a grim reminder of _ [E] thee _ _ _ _ _

_ _ Burnside he sat as his own brother drove _ Till they spot a patch of ground clear _ _
_ He said pull over boy, to the side of the road I'll see your eyes when I'm bending your [Em] ear
See [A] your eye when I'm bending your [G] ear _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ Burnside he leaned into his brother's ear
_ With one hand he collared his coat _ _ Said you think all the talk, just stay out here
With his left hand he reached out for [A] his brother's throat His hand it [E] reached out for his throat
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Burnside he slid into the driver's seat _ Brother on passenger's side
He _ _ slumped and he _ swayed With every turn in the street _
No more did his brother [Em] blink an eye _ No _ [B] more did he blink an eye
