My Brother Esau
The Grateful Dead
G C G (x4)
G Thing (x4)
G F C C2 C/B G F C C2 C/B
My brother Esau killed a hunter back in 1969
G Bm Em A C
Before the killing was done his inheritance was mine
C7 G Thing
But his birthright was a wand to wave before a weary band
G Bm Em A C
Esau gave me sleeplessness and a piece of moral land
G Thing (x2)
Our father favored Esau who was eager to obey
All the bloody wild commandments the old man shot his way
But all this favor ended when my brother failed at war
He staggered home and found me in the door
Bm Em C G
Esau skates on mirrors anymore
Bm Em A C
Meets his pale reflection at the door
G Thing
Late sometimes at night I dream he's still that hairy man
G Bm Em A C
Shadow boxing the apocalypse and wandering the land
Shadow boxing the apocalypse and wandering the land
*Solo* (verse & chorus)
Esau holds the blessing, brother Esau holds the curse
I would say that the blame was mine, but I suspected something worse
The more my brother looks like me, the less I understand
The silent war that bloodied both our hands
G Bm Em A C G Bm Em A C
Sometimes at night I think I understand
Way, way, late at night more feel than understand
It's brother to brother and it's man to man
Face to face and it's hand to hand
We're still fighting a war nobody understands
We're fighting a war nobody could ever win
It never ends and we can't remember when it began
Shadow boxing the apocalypse, again... and again
G Bm Em A C
Shadow boxing the apocalypse and wandering the land
Shadow boxing the apocalypse and wandering the land
Shadow boxing the apocalypse and wandering the land
Shadow boxing the apocalypse and wandering the land...
(hang on C, end on G)
