Brothers Brother: Sorrow
Table of Contents
Maggie is a golden retriever. We got her at 8 weeks. For months, the only thing that would settle her down was music. We had a play list for her. It started with a song that went,
"Sorrow, only sorrow.
It's the only thing that cares for me."
The perfect soundtrack for a puppy fighting to stay awake. She was often asleep within 30 seconds.

Lyrics with chords
[Verse 1]
Bb Cm
So it goes that autumn leaves are falling
F Bb
Soft upon the earth and winding streets
Bb Cm
There they paint the sidewalks I am walkin'
F Bb
I sing alone and lonely, that's me
[Bridge]
? Bb
Once I had a life full of adoring
Cm Bb
I fell in love and lord it was a shame
? Bb
One day she up and left me without warnin'
Cm F
Now I walk the world and sing this refrain
[Chorus]
Bb G
Sorrow, only sorrow
Cm F
It's the only thing that cares for me
Bb G
Sorrow, only sorrow
Cm F
Leave me be, leave me be
[Verse 2]
Bb Cm
When the sun is setting in the valley
F Bb
And all the angels whisper to the plains
Bb Cm
Though my heart is weary I am singing
F Bb
That I might find that everlasting day
[Bridge]
? Bb
I could sail a wish upon the river
Cm Bb
To float upon the ripples and the waves
? Bb
Hoping that someday it might deliver
Cm F
Someone to wash my sorrows away
[Chorus] x 3
Dog-oriented lyrics with chords
[Verse 1]
Bb Cm
So it goes the eyelids they are fallin'
F Bb
Soft upon the bed and crumpled sheets
Bb Cm
There I dream of sidewalks I am walkin'
F Bb
I lie alone, foresaken, that's me
[Bridge]
? Bb
Once I had a life full of adoring
Cm Bb
I fell asleep and lord it was a shame
? Bb
One day they up and "downed" me without warnin'
Cm F
Now I mourn the world and sing this refrain
[Chorus]
Bb G
Sorrow, only sorrow
Cm F
It's the only thing that cares for me
Bb G
Sorrow, only sorrow
Cm F
Leave me be, leave me be
[Verse 2]
Bb Cm
When the sun is setting in the valley
F Bb
And all the angels whisper to the plains
Bb Cm
Though my heart is weary I am singing
F Bb
That I might run around again some day
[Bridge]
? Bb
I could sail a wish upon the river
Cm Bb
To float upon the ripples and the waves
? Bb
Hoping that someday it might deliver
Cm F
Someone to wash my sorrows away
[Chorus] x 3
