  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?
  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.
  
          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.
  
  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.
