[Intro] Am7 Am Am7 Am [Verse]
Am7    Am       Am7       Am
Here I lie in my hospital bed

Dsus2           Am                    Dsus2          Am
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?

G                                     F     *[fill 1]
Oh, and I don't think I can wait that long

C            G               F          Am
Oh you see    I'm not that strong
Am7 Am Am7
    Am                          Am7            Am
The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears

Dsus2           Am    *[fill 2]Dsus2                 Am
Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?
[Bridge]
G                       F
What am I doing in this place?

E                           F
Why does the doctor have no face?

G                          F
Oh, I can crawl across the floor

          Am          F                        Am
Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score.
[Verse]
        Am7           Am             Am7            Am
Well it just goes to show things are not what they seem-

Dsus2          Am                Dsus2           Am
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams.

G                           F
Oh can't you see I'm fading fast?

        Am       F              Am
And the big shot     will be my last.
[Verse]
Am7          Am               Am7                    Am
Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hands on my head

Dsus2            Am             Dsus2       Am
Oh c'mon Sister Morphine, better make up my bed

    G                          F
Cos you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead

        Am             F             E                          Am
You can sit around and watch all the clean white sheets stained red.
