Chorus:
G           A
Top rankin', top rankin',
         Bm
Are you skankin'? (Skankin', skankin'),
Are you skankin'? (Skankin', skankin').
          G                        A
Woah-ho, top rankin', ah, did you mean what
you said now?

Are you, how are you, are you, Lord, Lord.

They say the blood runs, and it runs through
our line,
         G                          Bm
And our hearts, heart of hearts di-vine.
A
And John saw them comin',
             G                     Bm
A with the truth from an ancient time.

           G
Brotherly love, (brotherly love),
              A
The sisterly love, (brotherly love).
             Bm
I feel this morning, I feel this morning.
           G
Brotherly love, (brotherly love),
              A
The sisterly love, (brotherly love).
             Bm
I feel this morning, I feel this morning.

They don't want to see us unite
All they want us to do is keep on
fussing and fighting
They don't want to see us live together
All they want us to do is keep on
killing one another
