Sisters Of Mercy chords by Leonard Cohen
ALBUM: Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967)
Capo on II
E A D A E A D A
Oh the Sisters of Mercy they are not departed or gone
C#m G#m C#m G#m E Esus4 E
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
D A G F#m E Esus4 E
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
A D A E A D
Oh I hope you run into them you who've been traveling so long
D E
A D A E A D A
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
C#m G#m C#m G#m E Esus4 E
It begins with your family, but soon it comes round to your soul
D A G F#m E Esus4 E
Well I've been where you're hanging I think I can see how you're pinned
A D A E A D
When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned
D E
A D A E A D A
They lay down beside me I made my confession to them
C#m G#m C#m G#m E Esus4 E
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
D A G F#m E Esus4 E
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
A D A E A D
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem
D E
A D A E A D A
When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon
C#m G#m C#m G#m E Esus4 E
Dont turn on the lights you can read their address by the moon
D A G F#m E Esus4 E
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
D E
A D A E A
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
A D A E A
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
