Sister Mother chords by Sixpence None The Richer

Chords with lyrics

Sister, Mother
 By Sixpence None The Richer

I love this song! I couldn't find a good tab for it, so I tried to figure it out
 Returning to the F#F# after each phrase of the chorus is optional. I like to play it that way,
I'm not sure that they actually do that on the recording.

F#* & E* are my way of pointing out that these two chords are played higher on the neck:
is on fret 9 (x91111119), and E* on fret 7 (x79997). (you could also just play the
F#F# and E MajorE if you want).


A augmentedA
My life is plagued
   E MajorE
By mistakes, broken heart, slaps in the face
A augmentedA
But I'm trying to care
  E*
To dare to embrace your face

F#F#
Hug him like a brother
F#F#
Kiss her like a sister
E MajorE
Let it be my mother for now

A augmentedA
I want to find
      E MajorE
Where the maid in the street is pouring her wine
A augmentedA
I heard she takes you in
   E*
And gives you the words you need said


F#F#
If you'll be her brother
F#F#
She'll kiss you like a sister
E MajorE
She'll even be your mother for now

A augmentedA (4x)

F#F#
Hug him like a brother
F#F#
Kiss her like a sister
F#F#
Let it be my mother
F#F#
Let it be my father
F#F#
I will be her brother
F#F#
Kiss her like a sister
E MajorE
Come and be my mother forever

E MajorE
