[Verse I]
A        D             A            D
I was a fighter always looking for trouble
       A            D               A               E       D   A
And my life was so empty, there was nothing left to live for
            D             A             D       A
But then it happened one night as I got into a fight
        D             C#m7     Dmaj7         Dm6
I could hear someone saying as though he was praying
A/E           Esus4  E
Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-ah  -  ah
 
 
[Chorus I]
A                          E7
Treat him well, he is your brother
                            A
You might need his help one day
                  E7
We depend on one another
                          A
Love him, that's the only way
        Dm                           A/C#
On the road (on the road) that we're going
       Dm                           A/E           E
We all need (we all need) words of comfort and compassion
A                          E7
Treat him well, he is your brother
                          A    C/A D/A A
Love him, that's the only wa - a - a - ay

E        A          E            A
I was a woman never thinking of others
       E            A             E           B   A   E
And my life was so lonely, didn't care for anybody
           A            E             A           E
But then I happened to meet a begging man in the street
     A                Abm7     Amaj7         Am6
As I turned down his praying I heard someone saying
E/B           Bsus4  B
Ah-a-ah-a-a-a-ah  -  ah
