NOTE:
The move from C (frets 1 and 3) to F (frets 8 and 10) in the first bar above is a big
jump up the fret board with string changes. It may require a bit of practice to play initially.
Chords and lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C]Dear sister can you help me [Am]lie?
I've [Dm]told the truth so many years,
But [Dm/F]no one seems to want to hear that,
[C]I'm not someone else in[Am]side.
I've [Dm]been along this lonely road,
[Dm/F]Looks like I'm not coming home,
(Ending)
But [C]I....[G]don't [Am]mind,
[C]Please [G]don't [Am]cry.
