[Verse 1]
Am
This is a story of seven brothers
Am
We had the same father but different mothers
Am
We keep together like a family should
Am
Roaming the country for the common good
Am
It came to pass one faithful day
Am
We found ourselves down Mexico way
Am
The town, the mayor, the P.T.A
Am
Pleading on their knees with us all to stay
Am
We'd only stopped for a few burritos
Am
But they told us of the trouble with los banditos
Am
A poor little town in need of aid
Am
My brothers and me had never been afraid
Am
The age of chivalry is not dead
Am
Lomesome nights in a coyboy bed
Am
There'd be a bride for every man
Am
Who chased away the evil gang


[Chorus]
C       F
Love is stronger than justice
G                    C
Love is thicker than blood
C                 F
Love love love is stronger than justice
G         G7               C
Love is a big fat river in flood

[Verse 2]
Am
The outcome was predictable
Am
Our banditos were despicable
Am
Of blood we lost a dozen litres
Am
A small price to pay for las senoritas
Am
The town mayor was happy but his face was glum
Am
The maidens numbered only one
Am
But there weren't seven brides for seven brothers
Am
I knew I had to get rid of the others


[Chorus]
C       F
Love is stronger than justice
G                    C
Love is thicker than blood
C       F
Love is stronger than justice
G         G7               C
Love is a big fat river in flood

[Verse 3]
Am
Mother told me I was the clever one
Am
The seventh son of a seventh son
Am
It all ended so happily
Am
I settled down with the family
Am
I look forward to a better day
Am
But ethical stuff never got in my way
Am
And though there used to be brothers seven
Am
There other six are singing in heaven

[Chorus]
C       F
Love is stronger than justice
G                    C
Love is thicker than blood
C                 F
Love love love is stronger than justice
G         G7               C
Love is a big fat river in flood
C       F
Love is stronger than justice
G                    C
Love is thicker than blood
C                 F
Love love love is stronger than justice
G         G7               C
Love is a big fat river in flood
G         G7               C
Love is a big fat river in flood
