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
Oh, and I don't think I can wait that long
C                G                      F   Am
Oh you see I'm not that strong

        Am                                       Am7                  Am
The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
Dsus2              Am                    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.

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?

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.
