Here I lie in my hospital bed

Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?

Am7    Am    Am7  
          Am                                                                    Am7                              Am  
The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
D2                            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-
D2                         Am                                         D2                            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
D2                              Am                                 D2                 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                                                                    Am  
You can sit around and watch all the clean white sheets stained red.
