Intro
Verse
Here I lie in my hospital bed
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
Oh you see I'm not that strong
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?
Bridge
What am I doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can crawl across the floor
Can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score.
Verse
Well it just goes to show things are not what they seem-
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams.
Oh can't you see I'm fading fast?
And the big shot will be my last.
Verse
Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hands on my head
Oh c'mon Sister Morphine, better make up my bed
Cos you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead
You can sit around and watch all the clean white sheets stained red.
