Sister Mother chords by Sixpence None The Richer

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# 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# and E if you want).


A
My life is plagued
      E
By mistakes, broken heart, slaps in the face
A

But I'm trying to care
    E*
To dare to embrace your face

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

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


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

A (4x)

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

E
