Sisters Of Mercy

       A         D              A      E         A     D   A
Oh, Sis-ters of Mercy, they are not departed or gone
      C#m            G#m           C#m          G#m          E   E4    E
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
      D                     A         G          F#m              E E4    E
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me their song
    A              D          A               E           A     D
Oh, I hope you run into them, you who've been trav'ling so long

    A            D          A
Yes you who must leave everything
         E         A    D A
That you cannot control
     C#m             G#m
It begins with your family
    C#m           G#m           E
But soon it comes round to your soul
          D                 A
Well I've been where you're hanging
  G           F#m            E
I think I can see how you're pinned
            A           D
When you're not feeling holy
     A               E            A      D
Your loneliness says that your've sinned

     C#m         G#m
They lay down beside me
  C#m        G#m        E
I made my confession to them
     D               A
They touched both my eyes
      G           F#m          E
And I touched the dew on their hem
        A         D
If your life is a leaf
         A            E           A   D
That the seasons tear off and condemn
          C#m            G#m
They will bind yoou with love
        C#m          G#m         E
That is graceful and green as a stem

       A                D
When I left they were sleeping
  A        E             A    D
I hope you run into them soon
     C#m         G#m
Dont turn on the lights
        C#m          G#m           E
You can read their address by the moon
        D             A
And you wont make me jealous
     G              F#m            E
If I hear that they sweetened your night

 D  E

           A           D
We weren't lovers like that
       A                 E        A
And besides it would still be alright
