[Verse]
G D C C C G G
Oh, sister, when I come to lie in your arms
G D C C C G G
Please do not treat me like a stranger.
G D C C C G G
Our Father would not like the way that you act
G D C G
And you must realize the danger.

[Verse]
G D C C C G G
Oh, sister, am I not a brother to you
G D C C C G G
And one deserving of affection?
G D C C C G G
And is our purpose not the same on this earth,
G D C G
To love and follow his direction?
[Chorus]
C
We grew up together
G
From the cradle to the grave
C
Died and reborn
G
And then mysteriously saved.
D C C G G
Oh, sister…
[Instrumental]

[Verse] (Sometimes performed a cappella live, until "tomorrow" in the last line)
G D C C C G G
Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door,
G D C C C G G
Don't turn away, you'll create sorrow.
G D C C C G G
Time is an ocean and it ends at the shore
G D Em C C C G G
You may not see me tomorrow.
