Sisters Of Mercy Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[C]

[VERSE 1]
Oh, the Sisters of [F]Mercy they [C]are not de[G]parted or [C]gone
They were [Em]waiting for [Bm]me when I [Em]thought that I [Bm]just can't go [G]on
And they [Dm]brought me their [C]comfort and [Bb]later they [F]brought me this [G]song
Oh, I [C]hope you run [F]into them, [C]you who've been [G]travelling so [C]long [F] [C]

[VERSE 2]
Yes, you who must [F]leave every[C]thing that you [G]cannot con[C]trol
It be[Em]gins with your [Bm]family and [Em]later comes [Bm]round to your [G]soul
Well, I've [Dm]been where you're [C]hanging, I [Bb]think I can [F]see how you're [G]pinned
When you're [C]not feeling [F]holy your [C]loneliness [G]says that you've [C]sinned [F] [C]

[VERSE 3]
They lay down be[F]side me I [C]made my con[G]fession to [C]them
They [Em]touched both my [Bm]eyes and I [Em]touched the [Bm]dew on their [G]hem
If your [Dm]life is a [C]leaf that the [Bb]seasons tear [F]off and con[G]demn
They will [C]bind you with [F]love that is [C]graceful and [G]green as a [C]stem [F] [C]

[VERSE 4]
When I left they were [F]sleeping I [C]hope you run [G]into them [C]soon
Don't [Em]turn on the [Bm]lights, you can [Em]read their ad[Bm]dress by the [G]moon
And it [Dm]won't make me [C]jealous if I [Bb]hear that they [F]sweetened your [G]night
We weren't [C]lovers like [F]that and be[C]sides, it would [G]still be al[C]right
We weren't lovers like [F]that and be[C]sides, it would [G]still be al[C]right
