Now, play that progression through the first two verses, 
 
 
At the end of the second verse, the E-A-B to G continues  
through that long instrumental part, until you get to the  
Bridge: 
 
 
          F----------------C-----------------G-------See Below 
If they   Knock on your    Door...    You    Already gave

                                                    |--3 
                                                    |--4  
                                                    |--5 
                                                    |--- 
                                                    |--- 
 
 
    F-------------C--------------G---------------STAY ON G 
You Don't need no more of what's ailing ya' 
 
(Repeat for next part of bridge) 
 
 
When you get to "America....,"    play  
E-A-B then Fmaj7 (instead of G) 
 
Play the third verse like the first two, then the end  
just like the bridge..... 
 
 
 
NOTE:     BE CAREFUL OF THE RHYTHM....  Every other chord  
starts on the 4th beat of the measure, and lasts for 5 beats, not 4 
For example, for the Fmaj7 and C in the verses, you play 
Fmaj7 for 1-2-3 and C for 4-1-2-3-4.... 
 
The best way to get this down is to play along with the CD (or tape) 
  
 
Words: 
 
 
Sister........   did you have to fall in love 
With a man....   that never was 
Up to no good.   he took your soul 
And he left your only heart 
Flipped your wig,  and left a permanent scar 
 
Sister........    did you have to go away 
You left you're home....   and the things you had to say 
It didn't feel good...   to let you slide 
I never got to say goodbye 
Miss you girl,  I think I'm gonna cry.... 
 
If they knock on your door, you already gave 
You don't need no more of what's ailin' ya 
 
Just lean on your soul with all that it takes 
May god bring you back home to America...America 
America.... 
 
Sister, sister,sister,sister... It's just a test of faith 
Your heart is pure, so the devil's in your face 
           .....I'll see you soon 
Cause they haven't got a case 
And you'll be free, in a beautiful place 
 
In a beautiful place.... 
 
If they knock on your door, you already gave.
