       B          E           B            F#         B
Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
E B             D#m      A#m       D#m            A#m           F#
   They were waitin' for me when I thought that I just can't go on
F#sus4 F#        E                B           A7         G#m             F#
       And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
F#sus4 F#    B            E          B               F#            B
       Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long

E B F#   B            E               B         F#         B
     Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
E B     D#m            A#m         D#m           A#m           F#
   It begins with your family, but soon it comes round to your soul
F#sus4 F#             E             B          A7          G#m            F#
       Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned
F#sus4 F#           B           E          B          F#               B
       When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned

---------------------
E B F#         B          E          B          F#         B
     Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them
E B     D#m             A#m       D#m            A#m          F#
   They touched both my eyes and I   touched the dew on their hem
F#sus4 F#       E         B             A7           G#m        F#
       If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
F#sus4 F#             B         E            B            F#         B
       They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem

---------------------
E B F#          B          E           B            F#        B
     When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon
E B      D#m         A#m             D#m           A#m         F#
   Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon
F#sus4 F#            E        B            A7             G#m            F#
       And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
F#sus4 F#          B           E          B              F#           B
       We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
