Misc Musicals – Lizzie The Musical - Sweet Little Sister (Guitar)

                  B5                       F#5
I was a trembling child, just twelve years old,

            B5               F#5
When Mother placed you in my arms.

              B5 D                E
You were only two, you never knew,

                 F#5
My sweet, little sister.

               B5                     F#5
She touched my face and she pulled me close.

            B5           F#5
and Mama whispered in my ear,

              B5 D              E
Don't let her go, don't let her know,

                  F#5
Your sweet little sister

G                    A                 A          G   F# E
For years I tried to be to you all the things she was to me.

G                   A                E      G5
I tried to give you all the love you needed.

G                    A
But now I feel, with out a word,

A             G F# E
I've told you everything.

G                A                    B
And now I hear a warning that must be heeded.

F#5          D  B        F#5                   D B9
Sweet little sister, I'm so afraid to leave you.

F#5          D  B         E      B   F#
Sweet little sister, I've got to get away.

                    B5         F#5
I was a dark-souled girl of 14 years,

            B5              F#5
When Father married his new wife.

              B5   D
You were only four

          E                      F#5
So I kept score, my sweet little sister.

                    B5              F#5
She touched his face and pulled him close.

                B5            F#5
And then she whispered in his ear,

          B5  D            E
He let us go, she runs the show,

                F#5
My sweet little sister

G                    A
For years I tried to keep you safe

         A        G  F# E
from the darkness in my heart.

G                A             E
But now I see my troubled soul reflected.

G                A
I look into your cold, blue eyes

    A            G  F# E
and they tell me everything.

G                   A             B
And now I know that no one's been protected.

E5add9       C/E     E5add9
