The Following is my best guess at Sister by Lenny Kravitz, an excellent
tune off his new album, Are You Gonna Go My Way:
Verse, repeat until G comes
Fmaj7 C

|-3---3-----3-3-3-3-3-3-3---2-|---------------------------|
|---------------------------3-|------3------3--3----------|
|-----------------------------|---------------------------|
E-A-B weird chord (Don`t forget to mute the G)
|-----0----0--(0)----0--0--0--------0--|------0-----0------0-0----------|

(Repeat x3, but....)
On And he stole you`re only heart instead of going to E-A-B, go to:
G
|-----2----2--(2)----2--2--2--------2--|------2-----2------2-2-----|

|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
Back to E-A-B Then to G again
|-----0----0--(0)----0--0--0--------2--|------2-----2------2-2-----|

Now, play that progression through the first two verses,
At the end of the second verse, the E-A-B to G continues
through that long instrumental part, until you get to the
Bridge:
F----------------C-----------------G-------See Below
If they Knock on your Door... You Already gave
:*) Trust me-->) |--0
|--3
|--4
|--5
|---
|---
F-------------C--------------G---------------STAY ON G
You Don`t need no more of what`s ailing ya`
(Repeat for next part of bridge)
When you get to America...., play
E-A-B then Fmaj7 (instead of G)
Play the third verse like the first two, then the end
just like the bridge.....
NOTE: BE CAREFUL OF THE RHYTHM.... Every other chord
starts on the 4th beat of the measure, and lasts for 5 beats, not 4
For example, for the Fmaj7 and C in the verses, you play
Fmaj7 for 1-2-3 and C for 4-1-2-3-4....
The best way to get this down is to play along with the CD (or tape)
Words:
Sister........ did you have to fall in love
With a man.... that never was
Up to no good. he took your soul
And he left your only heart
Flipped your wig, and left a permanent scar
Sister........ did you have to go away
You left you`re home.... and the things you had to say
It didn`t feel good... to let you slide
I never got to say goodbye
Miss you girl, I think I`m gonna cry....
If they knock on your door, you already gave
You don`t need no more of what`s ailin` ya
Just lean on your soul with all that it takes
May god bring you back home to America...America
America....
Sister, sister,sister,sister... It`s just a test of faith
Your heart is pure, so the devil`s in your face
.....I`ll see you soon
Cause they haven`t got a case
And you`ll be free, in a beautiful place
In a beautiful place....
If they knock on your door, you already gave.
Good Luck!
