Sisters of Mercy Leonard Cohen
Tuning: D G C F A D (standard, full step down)
Oh the s[A]isters of m[D]ercy, they [A]are not dep[E]arted or g[A]one[D] [A]
They were w[C#m]aiting for m[G#m]e when I th[C#m]ought I j[G#m]ust cannot go [E]on[Esus4] [E]
And they br[D]ought me their c[A]omfort, l[G]ater they br[F#m]ought me this s[E]ong[Esus4] [E]
Oh yes I h[A]ope you run [D]into them, y[A]ou who've been tr[E]avelling so [A]long[D] [Dsus4] [A] [E]
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul
Well I've been where you're hanging and I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness tells you you've sinned
Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them
They touched both my eyes I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
Ah 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
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they've sweetened your night
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
