Song - Sister I'm A Poet
Artist - Colin Meloy
Album - Colin Meloy Sings Morrisey
Standard Tuning - EADGBE
This is a nice song to play, with not a lot of chords
but the chords do change fast. Large
spaces between chords where there
are no lyrics indicate they go on
for longer! barre chords do
sound tighter, but open chords sound just fine
as well. Enjoy :)

AAnd all over this C#mtown
A slow wind may Ablow
And I can see through Beverybody's clothes
With no Areason to hide these Bwords I feel
And no Areason to talk about the Bbooks I read
But still I Edo
GThat's cause AI'm a... E
GSister AI'm a... G
All Aover Gthis town E
E E G A G A G E
AAlong the waC#my outside the prison gates
AI love the romance of cBrime
And I wonder
Does Aanybody feel the same way BI do'
And is Aevil just something you Bare
Or something you Edo'
GBut now AI'm a... E
GSister AI'm a... G
All Aover Gthis toEwn
E E G A G A G E G A E G A G A G E
A And all over this C#mtown
They pull over in their ACitroen vans
Not to shake your Bhand
With meths on their Abreaths
And you with youth on Byour side
AA plastic bag stranded at the Blight
This once was meE...
GBut now AI'm a... E
GSister AI'm a... G
All Aover Gthis townE
Oh, all Gover Athis townE
All Gover Athis town E
All Gover Athis town G A

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 :)
