Oh the [A] Sisters of [D] Mercy

They [A] are not de-[E]-parted or [A] gone [D][A]

They were [C#m] waiting for [G#m] me

When I [C#m] thought that I [G#m] just cant go [E] on [Esus4][E]

And they [D] brought me their [C] comfort

And [G] later they [F#m] brought me their [E] song [Esus4][E]

Oh I [A] hope you [D] into them

[A] You who've been [E] travelling so [A] long

[D][G/D][D/A][A7][D][G/D][D/A][A7][D][A][E]

Yes [A] you who must [D] leave every-[A]-thing

That you [E] cannot con-[A]-trol [D][A]

It be-[C#m]-gins with your [G#m] family,

But [C#m] soon it comes [G#m] round to your [E] soul [Esus4][E]

Well I've [D] been where you're [C] hanging

I [G] think I can [F#m] see how you're [E] pinned [Esus4][E]

When you're [A] not feeling [D] holy

Your [A] loneliness [E] says that you've [A] sinned

[D][G/D][D/A][A7][D][G/D][D/A][A7][D][A][E]

[A] They lay down be-[D]-side me

I [A] made my con-[E]-fession to [A] them [D][A]

They [C#m] touched both my [G#m] eyes

And [C#m] I touched the [G#m] dew on their [E] hem [Esus4][E]

If your [D] life is a [C] leaf

That the [G] seasons tear [F#m] off and con-[E]-demn [Esus4][E]

They will [A] bind you with [D] love

That is [A] graceful and [E] green as a [A] stem

[D][G/D][D/A][A7][D][G/D][D/A][A7][D][A][E]

When I [A] left they were [D] sleeping

I [A] hope you run [E] into them [A] soon [D][A]

Don't [C#m] turn on the [G#m] lights

You can [C#m] read their ad-[G#m]-dress by the [E] moon [Esus4][E]

And you [D] won't make me [C] jealous

If I [G] hear that they [F#m] sweetened your [E] night [Esus4][E]

We weren't [A] lovers like [D] that,

And be-[A]-sides it would [E] still be al-[A]-right [D][A]

We weren't [A] lovers like [D] that,

And be-[A]-sides it would [E] still be al-[A]-right

[D][G/D][D/A][A7][D][G/D][D/A][A7][D][A][E]
