  			Oh Sister 
Intro: Am    Dm    C    G     (2x) 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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