All the sisters of [E] mercy, they [B]
are not [F#] departed or [B]
gone.
[E] [B]
[D#] They were waiting for [A#m] me when [A#] I thought that I [A#m] just can't [F#] go on.
And [E] they brought me [B] their comfort [C#m] and later [G#m] they brought me [F#] this song.
Oh [B] I hope you [E] run into them, [B] you [F#] who've been traveling so long.
[E]
[B]
[F#]
[B] Yes you, [E] who must leave everything [B] [F#] that you cannot [B]
control.
[E] [B]
[D#m] It begins with [A#m] your family but [D#m] soon it comes [A#m] round [F#] to your soul.
Well I've been where [B] you're hanging, [A] I think I [G#m] can see how [F#] you're pinned.
When [B] you're not feeling [E] holy [B] your Lord never [F#] says that [B] you've sinned.
[E]
[B]
[F#]
While they [B] lay down [E] beside me [B] I made my [F#] confession [B] to them.
[E] [B]
[D#m] They touched [A#m] both my eyes [D#m] and I touched [A#m] the dew [F#] on their hand.
If [E] your life is [B] a leaf let [A] the seasons [G#m] tear all, [F#] condemn.
They [B] will bind you [E] with love that [B] is graceful [F#] and green as [B] a stem.
[E]
[A] [B]
[F#]
[B] I left, they [E] were sleeping, I [B] hope [F#] you run into [B] them soon.
[E]
[B] [D#m]
Don't turn on the [A#m] lights, [D#] you can read their [A#m] address [F#] by the moon.
And [E] you won't make [B] me jealous if [A] I hear that [G#m] they sweeten [F#] your night.
[G#]
[F#] We were [B] lovers [E] like that and [B] besides it [F#] would still [B] be alright.
[E]
[F#] We were [B] lovers [E] like that [B] and besides it [F#] would still be [B] alright.
