When Me And My Brother Had A Row Cifras

A few notes for when you are playing this song. If you want it to sound like the recorded version you don't
strum, but it sounds just fine if you do. I do a thumb playing the bass note and then your first three fingers
after thumb at the same time playing the main part of the chord. (Keep in mind sometimes the bass and the main
chord are played at the same time.) The last thing I would say is listen to the song to get
the timing of the chords during the whistling right.
 
 
[Intro]
When me and my brother had a row
C G7 C G7 C G7 C
*Whistling*
 
[Verse 1]
     C       G7   C
When I was a boy, we hadn't need for much
F             C           G7
We always had provisions, clothes, and food and such
C              G7       C
I had one only brother, had him all my life
G7                             C G7 C
We never took to trouble or to strife
Am                              E7             Am
One evening at the table, while food was being spread
Am                                E7            Am
My brother sitting next to me and father at the head
Am                              E7               Am
Mother served us sweet milk and poured it in our mugs
D7                                                 G7
Brother swallowed his, and then he drank mine in a chug
C               G7         C
He looked at me contentеd, and then he took a bow
G7                           C G7 C
Then mе and my brother had a row
 
C G7 C G7 C G7 C
*Whistling*
 
[Verse 2]
C                 G7            C
I told him he was in the wrong, he said I was misled
F               C           G7
He added I was insolent and had a misshaped head
C             G7          C
I said he was unpleasant; he said I was a louse
G7                                       C G7 C
And then we took to quar'ling 'round the house
Am                                 E7               Am
We quarreled in the celler, and we quarreled in the attic
Am                                  E7               Am
We quarreled in the kitchen, and we quarreled with a hattock
Am                           E7             Am
I hit him in the backyard; I hit him in the front
D7                                               G7
I hit him with an object, and the object, it was blunt
C                 G7               C
We didn't stop to eat or drink, or even wipe a brow
G7                           C G7 C
When me and my brother had a row
 
C G7 C G7 C G7 C
