[Am]
[C] [Am]
Here I lie in my hospital bed
[D] Tell [Am] me, Sister Murphy
When are you coming round again?
[G] Oh, I don't think I can wait [F] that long
[C] Oh, you see [G] that my pain is [F] so [Am] strong
Oh, the other patients
Say they've never seen a man with such pain
Tell [Dm] [Am]
me, Sister Murphy
When are you coming round again?
[G] Oh, I don't think I can wait [F] that long
[C] Oh, you see [G] that I'm not [F] that strong
[Am] Oh, you see that I'm not that strong
Scream of ambulance
It's sounding in my ears
Tell me, Sister Murphy
How long have I been lying here?
What [G] am I doing in [F] this place?
[E] Why does the doctor have [F] no face?
[G] I can't crawl across [F] the floor
Can't [Am] you see, [F] Sister Murphy
Just trying to [Am] scare me?
The pictures in the ghost show
Things are not what they seem
[D] Please, [Am] Sister Murphy
Turn [D] my nightmare [Am] into dreams
[G] You can't see I'm [F] fading fast
And [Am] this shot [F]
will [Am] be the last
Please, cousin cocaine
Lay your cruel hands on my head
Hey, Sister Murphy
You [D] better [Am] make her the blackberry
[G] What do you know?
I'll know
[F] Everyone, are we dead?
[Am] You can sit around [F] and watch
[E] The clean white sheets stain [Am] the red
[Am]
[D] [Am]
[C] [Am]
Here I lie in my hospital bed
[D] Tell [Am] me, Sister Murphy
When are you coming round again?
