Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Brother my cup is empty

^EmBrother, my cup is empty ^EmAnd I haven't got a penny For to ^Ambuy no more whiskey I h^Emave to go home

^EmBrother, my cup is empty ^EmAnd I haven't got a penny For to ^Ambuy no more whiskey I h^Emave to go home

^EmI am the captain of my pain ^EmTis the bit, the bridle ^EmThe thrashing cane The ^Amstirrup, the harness and he whipping mane The p^Emickled eye and the shrinking brain ^EmBrother, buy me one more drink ^EmExplain the nature of my pity Yes, l^Amet me tell you once again I a^Emm the captain of my pain

^EmBrother, my cup is empty ^EmAnd I haven't got a penny For to ^Ambuy no more whiskey I h^Emave to go home

I ca^Emnnot blame it all on her ^EmTo blame her all would be a lie For m^Amany a night I lay awake And w^Emished that I could watch her die ^EmSee her accusing finger spurt ^EmSee flies swarm her hateful eye To wa^Amtch her groaning in the dirt S^Emee her clicking tongue crack dry ^EmBrother, buy me one more drink ^EmOne more drink and then goodbye And d^Amo not mock me when I say Let's d^Emrink one more before I die

^EmBrother, my cup is empty ^EmAnd I haven't got a penny For to ^Ambuy no more whiskey I h^Emave to go home

^EmI've been sliding down on rainbows ^EmI've been swinging from the stars This w^Amretch in beggars clothing Bangs his ^Emcup across the bars ^EmLook, this cup of mine is empty! ^EmSeems I've misplaced my desires Seems I'^Amm sweeping up the ashes Of a^Emll my former fires ^EmSo brother, be a brother ^EmAnd fill this tiny cup of mine And ple^Amase, sir, make it whiskey I hav^Eme no head for wine

^EmBrother, my cup is empty ^EmAnd I haven't got a penny For to ^Ambuy no more whiskey I h^Emave to go home ^EmBrother, my cup is empty ^EmAnd I haven't got a penny For to ^Ambuy no more whiskey I h^Emave to go home

I c^Emounted up my blessings ^EmAnd counted only one One t^Aminy little blessing And n^Emow that blessing's gone ^EmSo buy me one more drink, my brother ^EmThen I'm taking to the road Yes, I'm ^Amtaking to the rain And I'^Emm taking to the snow ^EmOh my friend, my only brother ^EmDo not let the party grieve Thr^Amow a dollar onto the bar Now ^Emkiss my ass and leave

^EmBrother, my cup is empty ^EmAnd I haven't got a penny For to ^Ambuy no more whiskey I h^Emave to go home ^EmBrother, my cup is empty ^EmAnd I haven't got a penny For to ^Ambuy no more whiskey I h^Emave to go home
