SISTERS OF MERCY - Leonard Cohen


     D         G                D      A          D     G   D
Oh Sis-ters of Mer-cy they are not de-par-ted or gone
          F#m          C#m        F#m            C#m           A   Asus4 A
They were wait-ing for me when I thought that I just cant go on
          G                D           C          Bm               A Asus4 A
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me their song
     D             G         D               A             D     G     D
Oh I hope you run into them you who've been trav-ling so long

C/G   G/D   D7   G      C/G   G/D   D7   G        D       A

    D             G          D                A         D     G    D       
Yes you who must leave everything   That you cannot control
     F#m             C#m          F#M           C#m           A    Asus4   A
It begins with your family,  but soon it comes round to your soul
         G                 D            C          Bm            A   Asus4   A    
Well Ive been where you're hanging I think I can see how you're pinned
             D          G           D          A                  D     G    D
When you're not feeling holy  Your loneliness says that your've sinned

C/G   G/D   D7   G      C/G   G/D   D7   G        D       A





     D           G           D          A          D     G    D
They lay down beside me   I made my confession to them
          F#m          C#m      F#m            C#m           A   Asus4 A
They touched both my eyes   And I touched the dew on their hem
         G         D              C            Bm          A   Asus4   A    
If your life is a leaf  That the seasons tear off and condemn
          D              G             D            A           D     G    D
They will bind you with love  That is graceful and green as a stem

C/G   G/D   D7   G      C/G   G/D   D7   G        D       A

        D             G            D            A          D     G   D
When I left they were sleeping  I hope you run into them soon
      F#m          C#m          F#m            C#m           A   Asus4 A
Dont turn on the lights  You can read their address by the moon
         G            D             C              Bm             A  Asus4   A    
And you wont make me jealous  If I hear that they sweetened your night
           D            G             D               A          D    G    D
We werent lov-ers like that   And besides it would still be all right
           D            G             D               A          D    G    D
We werent lovers like that    And besides it would still be all right
