Oh Sister

Intro: Am    Dm    C    G     (2x)

Am           Dm           C     
Oh sister my dear I wish that 
        G
you were here
Am          Dm             C    
And I wish that you could hear 
          G
this song that I sing
Am           Dm           C     
Oh sister my dear I wish that 
        G
you were here
Am         Dm            C      
And maybe your babies would sing
        G
 along with me
Am           Dm             C   
Oh sister my dear it’s too bad 
        G
you had to leave.

Am                Dm             
I never got the chance to tell 
C                       G
you, you’re my favorite family.
Am        Dm          C          
That imaginary mouse that you gave 
  G
to me,
Am          Dm         C        
has always been one of my 
      G
favorite memories

Am            Dm            C   
Oh sister my dear you know that 
         G
everyone agreed
Am              Dm          C   
losing you and your babies was 
         G
the biggest tragedy
Am              Dm         C    
For the first time in my life I 
         G
saw my daddy cry.

Am             Dm         C     G
Everyone kept asking oh why oh why

C                   Am           
And I asked God to save, at least
               F
 your little babies.
               C
But he let me down.
C                    Am      
And that’s when I decided, that 
     F                         C
there must not be any God around.

Am            Dm            C   
Oh sister my dear how old would 
          G
your baby be
Am              Dm           C  
If you would’ve brought him to 
            G
our house on that Halloween?
Am              Dm           C   G
It was 1984, so I guess he’d be 19
Am            Dm          C     
I wonder, I wonder.  What he 
         G
would think of me.

Am            Dm           C    
Oh pity for your lover the one 
        G
you left behind,
Am             Dm           C   
The father of your children who 
         G
lost his whole life.
Am              Dm            C 
Your family was trying, your 
           G
future was so bright.

Am               Dm            C
All anyone could say is that 
          G
just isn’t right.

And you used to sing to me you’d 
sing:
     G    C         D      C     
“Oh yeah life goes on long after 
 G       D     C        D
the thrill of living is gone.”
     G    C         D      C     
“Oh yeah life goes on long after 
 G       D     C        D
the thrill of living is gone.

G               C                 
And I hope that you are right, and
 G             C
 I hope that I am wrong.
G                C                
And I hope those are more than 
 G            C
words to a silly song.
G                 C               
Yeah I hope that you are right, 
 G            C
and I hope that I am wrong.

Am           Dm              C  
Oh sister my dear they said the 
            G
only one to blame
Am            Dm              C 
Was the electricity that made 
             G
the spark into a flame.
Am             Dm               
With your baby in your arms you 
C             G
tried so hard to flee
Am             Dm                
Then the darkness filled your 
C              G
lungs and put you all to sleep
