[B] [G#m] [C#]
[C#m] [E] [B]
[E] [G#m] [F#] [B] Sister, oh sister, [G#m]
I [G] miss your shadow, [B]
I miss your shade,
[C#]
When I [E] was afraid, [B] you pulled me through.
[E] [B]
Sister, big sister, [G#]
you [G] set the standard, [B]
You set the curve, [C#]
you [E] showed the nerve,
[B] When I needed you.
[C#] Those old hairy-legged [E] boys, Stopped making all that [B] noise,
When you beat them in the dirt without blinking.
[C#m] My fist flew in the air, [G#m] Cause I [E] knew that you'd be there,
[F#] To grab them [D#m] by the shirt without thinking.
[F#] [B] Sister, oh sister, [G#]
[G#m] the whole [G] house in shambles, [B] You stood straight as a beam,
[C#]
You made [E] a whole team, [B] Out of me and you.
[G#m]
[C#] [B] [G#m] [F#] [C#]
[G#m] [E] [B]
[E] [B] [C#] That [C#m] time we stole a car, You tried [E] to sneak me in a bar,
[B] When I was only [E] twelve and you [B] were fourteen.
Across [C#m] that parking lot [G#m] expanse, On [E] them moisture shells we danced,
While [F#] some cowboy watched [D#m] you twisting Through [F#] the porch screen.
[G#] [F#] [B]
Sister, big sister, [G#m]
you've been [G] my seawall, [B]
You've been my flood,
[C#m]
[E] You're in my blood, [B] I thank God for you.
[C#]
You're in [E] my blood, I [B] thank God for you.

NotesBeta

To learn Rodney Crowell, Mary Karr - Sister Oh Sister chords, these are the chords to practise in sequence: C#m, E, B, C#, G#m, G, B and C#m. A strategic approach would be to train at 44 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 89. Align the capo with your vocal depth and chord choice, bearing in mind the song's original key: B Major.
