SISTERS OF MERCY  (Leonard Cohen)
 
 
         A          D         A          E         A   D A 
Oh, the Sisters of Mercy they are not departed or gone
          C#m        G#m         C#m           G#m           E  Esus4
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
            D              A          G7           F#m             E  Esus4
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me their song
      A            D         A               E7            A  D A 
O, I hope you run into them you who've been traveling so long


      A            D           A             E          A  D A
Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control
      C#m           G#m        C#m            G#m           E  Esus4 
It begins with your family but soon it comes round to your soul
            D                 A          G7        F#m             E    Esus4
Well, I've been where you're hanging I think I can see how you're pinned
             A            D         A          E7               A     D A
When you're not feeeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned


      A          D         A          E           A  D A
They lay down beside me I made my confession to them
     C#m              G#m        C#m        G#m           E Esus4
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
         D          A            G7          F#m         E  Esus4 
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
           A             D            A            E7         A   D A
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem


        A               D         A           E           A  D A 
When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon
       C#m          G#m          C#m            G#m         E  Esus4
Don't turn on the lights you can read their address by the moon
         D             A            G7             F#m            E   Esus4
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
            A           D          A7              E            A
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
            A           D          A7              E           A
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
