Why Do You Turn Your Back

Richard Thompson

Text File

Sisters Am G F Am Remember the time when we two kin were reared G F C There was never a morsel but that it was shared E Am E Am If the one babe was stung, t'was the other would cry G F D G There scarce was a crossed word and never a lie Am G F Am Our people were drab and defeated like slaves G F C The light of their fathers went into the graves E Am E Am I took to the highway to find some relief G F D G I never meant parting to put you to grief Chorus: C F Sisters, we were sisters G F D G 'Til love came between us and pulled us apart C F We were sisters, we were sisters G F Am Don't call me your sister and put a knife through my heart Now you smile when you greet me, you put on a show But it's slander you're talking as soon as you go If your eye and my eye don't meet anymore Hold fast to your tongue when I've walked out the door Chorus You say that I'm different, don't hold me to blame It's not to my grandeur, it's not to your shame It's nothing of mine that I lay at your door So take it or leave it, it's to heal not to sore Chorus by: Jos� Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com
