Sister Morphine Chords by Marianne Faithfull

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Here I lie in my hospital bed. _
_ [A] Tell me, [Am] Sister Murphy, when are you coming round again? _ _
_ [G] _ Oh, I don't think I can wait that [F] long. _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ Oh, you see [G] _ that my pain [F] is so _ [Am] strong. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, the other patients _ say they've never seen a man with such pain.
_ _ Tell me, Sister Murphy, when are you coming round again?
_ Oh, [G] _ _
I don't think I can wait [F] that long. _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Oh, you see [G] that I'm not [F] that strong. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The squeak of the ambulance is sounding in my ears.
_ _ Tell me, Sister Murphy, _ how long have I been lying here? _
_ [G] What am I doing in [F] this place? _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ Why does a doctor have [F] no _ face? _ _ _
[G] _ _ I can't crawl [F] across the floor. _ _ _ _
[Am] Can't you see, _ Sister [F] Murphy, just trying [Am] to start over? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Religion _ goes to show _ things are not what they seem. _
_ _ Please, Sister Murphy, turn my nightmares into dreams. _
[A] _ [G] _ Oh, can't you see how I'm [F] fading fast? _ _ _
And [Am] if this stops, _ [F] it will be [A] the last.
_ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Please, Cousin _ Cocaine, lay your cruel hands on my head.
_ Hey, Sister Murphy, you better make up the black bed.
[G] Oh, you know, _ I _ know, and [F] all the _ _ days you [Am] sit around and [F] _ watch
[A] clean white [E] sheets stain red. _ _
