Was a cold rainy morning when I got that call
G D Em C
Mama gave the news your brother is gone
G D Em C
I hit my knees and the tears began to fall
G D Em C
As I slam my fist against the wall
Em D C
But before the angels took him away
Em D C
There was one thing that I had to say
G D Em
I woulda helped you through that battle
C G D
Hand in hand we'da won the fight
G D Em C
Now my right hand is go-o-one
G D
And I just hope you know
G D Em
You were half the man I am
C
'Cause without ya
D
I'm half the man

Was a long ride home
Em C
But when I pulled in the drive
G D Em C
I just sat there and I looked towards the sky
G D Em
And I asked God where were you this time
G D Em
And I heard a still calm voice in my head
C Em D C
Said I'm right here and I said Lord before You go
Em D C D
When You get back would You just let him know
G D Em

That I used to be

Maybe he would not be gone
