Sisters of Mercy
written by Leonard Cohen
B E B F# B E B Bsus2 B
Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
D#m A#m D#m A#m F# F#sus4 F#
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
E B A G#m F# F#sus4 F#
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
B E B F# B E Esus4 B Bsus2 F#
Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long
B E B F# B E B Bsus2 B
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
D#m A#m D#m A#m F# F#sus4 F#
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul
E B A G#m F# F#sus4 F#
Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned
B E B F# B E Esus4 B Bsus2 F#
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned
B E B F# B E B Bsus2 B
Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them
D#m A#m D#m A#m F# F#sus4 F#
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
E B A G#m F# F#sus4 F#
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
B E B F# B E Esus4 B Bsus2 F#
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem
B E B F# B E B Bsus2 B
When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon
D#m A#m D#m A#m F# F#sus4 F#
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon
E B A G#m F# F#sus4 F#
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they've sweetened your night
B E B F# B E F#
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
B E B F# B
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
