Judy Collins - Sisters Of Mercy
CAPO: 3rd Fret
{Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
F C G C
Oh, the Sisters of Mercy they are not departed or gone
Em Bm Em Bm G
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
Dm C Bb F G
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
C F C G C F C
Oh, I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long
[Verse 2]
F C G C
Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control
Em Bm Em Bm G
It begins with your family and later comes round to your soul
Dm C Bb F G
Well, I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned
C F C G C F C
When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned
[Verse 3]
F C G C
They lay down beside me I made my confession to them
Em Bm Em Bm G
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
Dm C Bb F G
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
C F C G C F C
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem
[Verse 4]
F C G C
When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon
Em Bm Em Bm G
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon
Dm C Bb F G
And it won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
C F C G C
We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be alright
F C G C
We weren't lovers like that and besides, it would still be alright
