Here comes a brother from another mother
Storming out into the light
We're speeding up the pace, cutting to the chase
It's gonna be a hell of a ride

 A#7
Hey, let's rock it, hey, let's rock it, hey
                  D
Friends will be friends
 A#7
Hey, let's rock it, hey, let's rock it, hey
                      D
You gotta raise your hands
Let me see your hands

Here comes a brother from another mother
Ready for the Scorpions dance
We're rocking out for days, no limit anyways
You cannot stop a Mercedes Benz

Chorus:
 A      G      D
Rising to the top
     A        G         D
I'm giving it all I've got
             A         G        D
Someday, I'm up there with the best
        C
When I lay my bones to rest
When I lay my bones to rest
When I lay my bones, lay my bones
                 D
Lay my bones to rest

Here comes a brother from another mother
The bad boys are running wild
Around the world again, catch me if you can
We gotta keep the spirit alive

Hey, let's rock it, hey, let's rock it, hey
Friends will be friends
Hey, let's rock it, hey, let's rock it, hey
You gotta raise your hands
I wanna see your hands

Chorus - x2
