Sister Marie
View chords used in this chart
E G#m
Life is not easy for Sister Marie
D F#m
She finds that her thought is in error
G A
Her captive face haunting the mirror
B
Discomforts her
E G#m
She listens intently to Father McGhee
D F#m
As he tells her that faith is a blessing
G A
And she worries that he might be guessing
B
His irony
[Refrão]E D
It would be nice just to live like a lady
Bm E
And to have someone to marry
D
It would be nice to have someone to care for
B E
Someone to care when I'm buried
Carefully presenting the semblance of peace
She fulfills her various duties
Until all the changes she goes through
Have wearied her
She writes to her sister at school in the East
To enquire how she is progressing
And startles herself by confessing
Her jealousy
Chorus
Verse 1 + Chorus
