Here I lie in my hospital bed

Dsus2           Am                    Dsus2          Am

Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?

G                                     F     *[fill 1]

Oh, and I don't think I can wait that long

C            G               F          Am

Oh you see    I'm not that strong

    Am                          Am7            Am

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears

Dsus2           Am    *[fill 2]Dsus2                 Am

Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?

G                       F

What am I doing in this place?

E                           F

Why does the doctor have no face?

G                          F

Oh, I can crawl across the floor

          Am          F                        Am

Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score.



        Am7           Am             Am7            Am

Well it just goes to show things are not what they seem-

Dsus2          Am                Dsus2           Am

Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams.

G                           F

Oh can't you see I'm fading fast?

        Am       F              Am

And the big shot     will be my last.



Am7          Am               Am7                    Am

Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hands on my head

Dsus2            Am             Dsus2       Am

Oh c'mon Sister Morphine, better make up my bed

    G                          F

Cos you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead

        Am             F             E                          Am

You can sit around and watch all the clean white sheets stained red.
