SISTERS OF MERCY LEONARD COHEN A D A E A Asus4 A Oh the Sis-ters of Mer-cy they are not de-par-ted or gone C#m G#m C#m G#m E Esus4 E They were wait-ing for me when I thought that I just cant go on D A Bm F#m E Esus4 E And they brought me their com-fort and later they brought me their song A D A E A D Oh I hope you run into them you who've been trav-ling so long G/D D/A A7 D G/D D/A A7 D A E -------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes you who must leave everything That you cannot control It begins with your family, but soon it comes round to your soul Well I've been where you're hanging I think I can see how you're pinned When you're not feeling holy Your loneliness says that you've sinned They lay down beside me I made my confession to them They touched both my eyelids And I touched the dew on their hem If your life is a leaf That the seasons tear off and condemn They will bind you with love That is graceful and green as a stem When I left they were sleeping I hope you run into them soon Dont turn on the lights You can read their address by the moon And you wont make me jealous If I hear that they sweetened your night D E A D We werent lov-ers like that A E A And besides it would still be all right We werent lovers like that And besides it would still be all right C#m G#m Esus4 F#m G/D D/A A7 X----- ------ o---oo ------ X----- Xoo--- Xo-o-o |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ |||||| |||||| |***|| *||*** |||||| |||*|* ||*|*| ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||** ||||*| |||||| ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ |||||| |||||| |||||| |**||| |||*|| |||||| |||||| ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ |*|||* *||*** |||||| |||||| |**||| |||||| |||||| ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ||||*| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ||**|| |**||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
