[Verse 1]
A D
Oh the sisters of mercy,
A E A
they are not departed or gone
D
A C#m G#m C#m G#m
They were waitin' for me when I thought that I just can't
E
go on
Esus4
E D A G7 F#m
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought
E
me this song
Esus4 E A D
Oh I hope you run into them,
A E A
you who've been travelling so long
[Verse 2]
D A
E A D A E A
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
D A C#m G#m
It begins with your family,
C#m G#m E
but soon it comes round to your soul
Esus4 E D A
Well I've been where you're hanging,
G7 F#m E
I think I can see how you're pinned
Esus4 E A D
When you're not feeling holy,
A E A
your loneliness says that you've sinned
[Verse 3]
D A E A D
Well they lay down beside me,
A E A
I made my confession to them
D
A C#m G#m C#m G#m
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their
E
hem
Esus4
E D A G7 F#m
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and
E
condemn
Esus4
E A D A E
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as
A
a stem
[Verse 4]
D A E A D
When I left they were sleeping,
A E A
I hope you run into them soon
D A C#m G#m
Don't turn on the lights,
C#m G#m E
you can read their address by the moon
Esus4
E D A G7
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they
F#m E
sweetened your night
Esus4
E A D A E
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be
A
all right
[Outro]
D
E A D A E
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be
A
all right
