Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 1 half step down [ -1 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 1 to stay in the same key

Intro: Db Bbm Db Ab Gb Db

Verse 1:
   Bbm         Gb
Oh brother of mine
     Db                Gb
It’s been a long long time
      Bbm           Db            Ab
Since I’ve seen my face in your eyes
    Bbm             Gb
Oh brother, I’ve returned
      Db             Gb
To my burn scars of birth
    Bbm        Db              Ab
Charcoal and iron brought me back

Chorus:
      Db
And I left you alone
     Bbm           Db
In a house, not a home
      Bbm                  Db
And I watched the burning grow
      Eb                Ab
As my hair filled with gray
     Db
From the ashes that fell
              Bbm        Db
The mountains I knew so well
            Gb                                Ab
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight
           Gb           Db   Gb  
Brother, I watched the sky burn
    Bbm    Gb
And all I learned was
Gb               Ebm           Bbm
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease

Verse 2:
   Bbm         Gb
Oh brother, I see
    Db         Gb
You burn like me
    Bbm            Db           Bbsus4
The singes on our skin like a brand
   Bbm            Gb
Oh brother, I confess
         Gb            Db
There is little of me left
      Bbm                 Db             Ab
That could care about dousing the wildfire

Chorus:
  Db
And I left you alone
     Bbm           Db
In a house, not a home
      Bbm                  Db
And I watched the burning grow
      Eb                Ab
As my hair filled with gray
     Db
From the ashes that fell
              Bbm        Db
The mountains I knew so well
            Gb                                Ab
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight
           Gb           Db   Gb  
Brother, I watched the sky burn
    Bbm    Gb
And all I learned was
Gb               Ebm           Bbm
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease

Verse 3:
    Bbm              Gb
Oh brother, did you know
          Db             Gb
You could just strike a match
     Bbm            Db             Ab
Hear him scream my name one last time
   Bbm            Gb
Oh brother, I am home
       Db            Bbm
In the fires of our youth
             Bbm         Gb            Ab
I could care less if it hurts you anymore

Chorus:
  Db
And I left you alone
     Bbm           Db
In a house, not a home
      Bbm                  Db
And I watched the burning grow
      Eb                Ab
As my hair filled with gray
     Db
From the ashes that fell
              Bbm        Db
The mountains I knew so well
            Gb                                Ab
Burned with Hellfire in the blue light of midnight
           Gb           Db   Ab
Brother, I watched the sky burn
    Bbm    Gb
And all I learned was
Bbm               Ebm           Bbm
Smoke fills the lungs like a disease
