Intro Am7

Am7 This is a story of seven brothers
We had the same father but different mothers
We keep together like a family should
Roaming the country for the common good

Am7 It came to pass one fateful day
We found ourselves down Mexico way
The town, the mayor, the P.T.A.
Pleading on their knees with us all to stay

Am7 We’d only stopped for a few burritos
But they told us of the trouble with los banditos
A poor little town in need of aid
My brothers and me had never been afraid

Am7 The age of chivalry is not dead
Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed
There’d be a bride for every man
Who chased away the evil gang

C Love is stronger than F justice
G Love is thicker than C blood
C Love, love, love is F stronger than justice
G Love is a big fat river in C flood

Inter Am7

The Am7 outcome was predictable
Our banditos were despicable
Of blood we lost a dozen litres
A small price to pay for los señoritas

The Am7 town mayor was happy, but his face was glum
The maidens numbered only one
There weren’t seven brides for seven brothers
I knew I had to get rid of the others

C Love is stronger than F justice
G Love is thicker than C blood
C Love, love, love is F stronger than justice
G Love is a big fat river in C flood

Instr Am7 – Bm7

Am7 Mother told me I was the clever one
The seventh son of a seventh son
It all ended so happily
I settled down with the family

Am7 I look forward to a better day
But ethical stuff never got in my way
And though there used to be brothers seven
The other six are singing in heaven

C Love is stronger than F justice
G Love is thicker than C blood
C Love, love, love is F stronger than justice
G Love is a big fat river in C flood

C Love is stronger than F justice
G Love is thicker than C blood
C Love, love, love is F stronger than justice
G Love is a big fat river in C flood
G Love is a big fat river in C flood
