A        D              A            D
I was a fighter always looking for trouble
        A          D                 A               E    D A
And my life was so empty, there was nothing left to live for
             D            A             D       A
But then it happened one night as I got into a fight
         D            C#m7      Dmaj7          Dm6
I could hear someone saying as though he was praying
A/E Esus4 E
Ah

Chorus:
A                           E7
Treat him well, he is your brother
                             A
You might need his help one day
                   E7
We depend on one another
                           A
Love him, that's the only way
        Dm                           A/C#
On the road (on the road) that we're going
       Dm                           A/E            E
We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion
A                           E7
Treat him well, he is your brother
                           A   C/A D/A A
Love him, that's the only wa - a - a - ay

I was a woman never thinking of others
And my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
But then I happened to meet a begging man in the street
As I turned down his praying I heard someone saying
Ah...

Chorus

E                          B7
Treat him well, he is your brother (brother)
                             E
You might need his help one day (he's your brother)
                  B7
We depend on one another (brother)
                           E G A B
Love him, that's the only way
