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

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