Ghost Mice – Oh Sister (Guitar)

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.

     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
