[B] All the sisters [E] of mercy, they [B] are [F#] not departed or [B] gone
[E]
[B] [D#m] They were waiting [A#m] for me when I thought that I just [F#] can't go on
[B]
[F#] And [E] they brought me [B] their comfort [C#m] and later [G#m] they brought me [F#] this song
[B] Oh, [F#]
[B] I hope [E] you run into them, [B] you [F#] who've been traveling [B] so long
[E]
[A] [B]
[F#]
Yes, [B] you who must [E] leave everything [B]
that you [F#] cannot [B] control
[E]
[B]
It [D#m] begins with [A#m] your family [D#m] but soon it comes [A#m] round to [F#] your soul
Well, I've [E] been where [B] you're hanging, [A]
I think I [G#m] can see [F#] how you're pining
When [B] you're not feeling [E] holy, [B] your loneliness [F#] says that [B] you've [E] sinned
[B]
[F#]
Well, they [B] lay down [E] beside me [B] and I made [F#] my confession [B] to them
[E] [B]
[D#m] They touched both [A#m] my eyes [D#m] and I touched [A#m] the dew [F#] on their hand
If [E] your life is [B] a leaf that [A] the seasons [G#m] tear off [F#] and condemn
They [B] will bind [E] you with love [B] that is graceful [F#] and green as [B] a stem
I [E]
[A] [B]
[F#]
[B] left, they were [E] sleeping, I [B] hope you [F#] run into [B] them soon
[E]
[B]
[D#m] Don't [G#] turn on [A#m] the lights, you [D#m] can read their [A#m] address [F#] by the moon
And you [E] won't make [B] me jealous if [A] I hear that [G#m] they sweeten [F#] your night
[C#] We [F#]
[B] were lovers like [E] that and [B] besides, it [F#] would still be [B] alright
