Sister, I'm a Poet

E G A E G A G A G
E G A E G A G E

A C#m
And all over this town
A
A slow wind may blow
B
And I can see through everybody's clothes
A B
With no reason to hide these words I feel
A B
And no reason to talk about the books I read
E
But still I do
G A E
That's cause I'm a...
G A G
Sister I'm a...
A G E
All over this town

E E G A G A G E

A C#m
Along the way outside the prison gates
A B
I love the romance of crime

And I wonder
A B
Does anybody feel the same way I do?
A B
And is evil just something you are
E
Or something you do?

G A E
But now I'm a...

G A G
Sister I'm a...

A G E
All over this town

E E G A G A G E G A E G A G A G E

A C#m
And all over this town
A
They pull over in their Citroen vans
B
Not to shake your hand
A
With meths on their breaths
B
And you with youth on your side

A B
A plastic bag stranded at the light

E
This once was me...

G A E
But now I'm a...

G A G
Sister I'm a...

A G E
All over this town

G A E
Oh, all over this town

G A E
All over this town

G A G A
All over this town

G E
Oh...

Here's a little variation you
can add to the E major chord of the
main riff that's followed
by the quick G chord, then
A chord.

e|-0------0-0---
b|-0------0-0---
G|-1--0h1-1-1---
D|-2--2---2-2---
A|-2------2-2---
E|-0------0-0---

in short, quickly strum the first E
chord, lift off your pointer finger
that should have been on the 1st fret
of the G string so it is now open,
then pluck the D string, with
your middle finger still on the 2nd
fret from the chord, then hammer back
onto the 1st fret of the G string
with your pointer finger, then 2
very quick strums of the E major
chord, it sounds great when
it's pulled off :)
