Oh the (A)sisters of (D)mercy, they (A)are not de(E)parted or (A)gone (Asus2) (A)
They were (C#m)waiting for (G#m/D)me when I (C#m)thought that I (G#m/D)just can't go (E)on (Esus4) (E)
And they (D)brought me their (A)comfort and (G)later they (F#m)brought me this (E)song (Esus4) (E)
Oh I (A)hope you run (D)into them, (A)you who've been (E)travelling so (A)long (D)

(D)(Dsus4)(D)(Dsus2)(D)   (D)(Dsus4)(D)(Dsus2)(D)  (Asus2)(A)(Asus2)(A)   (E)(E)(E)

Yes (A)you who must (D)leave every(A)thing that you (E)cannot (A)control (Asus2) (A)
It (C#m)begins with your (G#m/D)family, but (C#m)soon it comes (G#m/D)around to your (E)soul(Esus4) (E)
Well I've (D)been where you're (A)hanging, I (G)think I can (F#m)see how you're (E)pinned (Esus4) (E)
When you're (A)not feeling (D)holy, your (A)loneliness (E)says that you've (A)sinned (D)

(D)(Dsus4)(D)(Dsus2)(D)   (D)(Dsus4)(D)(Dsus2)(D)  (Asus2)(A)(Asus2)(A)   (E)(E)(E)

Well they (A)lay down (D)beside me, I (A)made my con(E)fession to (A)them (Asus2) (A)
They (C#m)touched both my (G#m/D)eyes and (C#m)I touched the (G#m/D)dew on their (E)hem (Esus4) (E)
If your (D)life is a (A)leaf that the (G)seasons tear (F#m)off and con(E)demn (Esus4) (E)
They will (A)bind you with (D)love that is (A)graceful and (E)green as a (A)stem (D)

(D)(Dsus4)(D)(Dsus2)(D)   (D)(Dsus4)(D)(Dsus2)(D)  (Asus2)(A)(Asus2)(A)   (E)(E)(E)

When I (A)left they were (D)sleeping, I (A)hope you run (E)into them (A)soon (Asus2) (A)
Don't (C#m)turn on the (G#m/D)lights, you can (C#m)read their (G#m/D)address by the (E)moon (Esus4) (E)
And you (D)won't make me (A)jealous if I (G)hear that they've (F#m)sweetened your (E)night (Esus4) (E)
We weren't (A)lovers like (D)that and be(A)sides it would (E)still be all (A)right
We weren't (A)lovers like (D)that and be(A)sides it would (E)still be all (A)right

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 2
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord C#m
C#m is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: Asus2 ↔ A
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.
