Sister Morphine Chords by Marianne Faithfull

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
If _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I [Am] lie _ in my hospital bed, _ _ [A] _ tell me, [Am] Sister Murphy, when [A] are you coming round again?
_ _ _ [G] _ Oh, I don't think I could wait [F] that long. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Oh, you see _
[G] that my pain is [F] so _ strong.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh, the other patients say they've never seen a man with such pain. _ _
[A] _ Tell me, Sister Murphy, when are you coming [Am] round again? _ _ _
[G] _ Oh, I don't think I could wait [F] that long. _ _ _ _ _
[C] Oh, you see [G] _ that I'm not [F] that strong.
Oh, [Am] _ the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears.
_ [A] _ Tell [Am] me, Sister Murphy, _ [A] how long have I been [Am] lying here?
_ [G] What _ am I doing in [F] this _ place?
_ _ _ _ [E] _ Why does God _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
take?
_ _ [G] I _ _ can't crawl across the [F] floor.
I _ can't _ _ [Am] see. _ _
[F] Sister Murphy, just try to [Am] scurry. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Religion goes to show _ things are not what they seem.
_ _ [A] _ Please, [Am]
Sister Murphy, _ [A] turn my nightmare [Am]
into dreams.
_ _ [G] _ _ Oh, can't you see I'm [F] fading fast? _
_ _ _ [Am] And if this shocks, _
[F] _ will it take [Am] the last? _
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ if you need some cocaine, _ lay your cruel hands on my head.
[A] _ _ Hey, Sister Murphy, you better make up the flatbeds.
_ [G] But you know, you might know [F] everyone in the _ holiday.
_ And [Am] you can sit around and [F] _ watch [E] the white sheets stain the [Am] red. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
