Paroles

[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
