All the sisters [E] of mercy, they [B] are not [F#] departed or [B] gone.
[E]
[B] They [D#m] were waiting [A#m] for me [D#] when I thought that I just can't [F#] go on.
And they brought me their comfort [A] and later they [G#m] brought me [F#] this song.
Oh I [B] hope you [E] run into [B] them, you [F#] who've been traveling so [B] long.
[E]
[B]
[F#]
[B] Yes, you who must [E] leave everything [B] that [F#] you cannot [B] control.
[E] [B]
[D#m] It begins with your [A#m] family but [D#] soon it comes round to your [F#]
soul.
Well I've been where [B] you're hanging, [A] I think I [G#m] can see how [F#] you're feeling.
When [B] you're not [E] feeling holy, [B] your Lord in [F#] us says that [B] you've [E] sinned.
[B]
[F#]
Well they [B] lay down [E] beside me and made my [F#] confession [B] to them.
[E] They [B]
[F#] [D#m] touched both [A#m] my eyes and I touched the dew on [F#] their hands.
[F#]
If your [E] life is a [B] leaf, let the [A] seasons tear [G#m] off and [F#] condemn.
[F#]
They [B] will bind [E] you with love that [B] is graceful [F#] and green as [B] a stem.
[E] I
[B]
[F#]
left, they were [E] sleeping, I [B] hope you run [F#] into [B] them soon.
