[Intro]
| Am7 | Am | Am7 | Am |

[Verse 1]
Am7          Am     Am7         Am
   Here I lie  in my   hospital bed
Dsus2                   Am
     Tell me, Sister Morphine,
        Dsus2                      Am
when are     you coming round again

[Bridge]
G
 Oh,
                                  F
and I don't think I can wait that long
C           G                  F     Am
 Oh, you see that I'm not that strong

[Verse 2]
Am7 Am
Am7    Am                        Am7
   The scream of the ambulance is   sounding in my ears
Am Dsus2                   Am
        Tell me, Sister Morphine,
    Dsus2                  Am
how long have I been lying here?

[Bridge]
G                        F
 What am I doing in this place?
E7                          F
Why does the doctor have no face?
G                                  F
 Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
              Am             F
Ah, Can't you see, Sister Morphine,
              Am
I'm trying to score

[Verse 3]
Am
  Well, it just goes to show,
things are not what they seem
Dsus2                  Am
     Please, Sister Morphine,
       Dsus2                      Am
turn my     nightmares into dreams

[Bridge]
G                            F
 Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
             Am    F           Am
And that this  shot will be my last?

Am7             Am                Am7
   Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool,
cool hand on my head
Am Dsus2
   Ah,  Come on, Sister Morphine,
Am Dsus2
   you better make up my bed

[Bridge]
Am       G
  'Cause you know,
                      F
and I know in the morning I'll be dead
                       Am
Yeah, And you can sit around,
and you can watch
F        E7                             Am
 All the clean white sheets stained red,
