Sister Jane - New World - transcript by Martyn J Cox (martyn.cox@cableinet.co.uk) This is how I see it, I would appreciate some feedback because I have only been playing for 10 weeks and some of the chords might be out, if you know better chords then please amend this and tell me to help me my learning, it really is an excellent song. I have always liked this one: First Verse :

C^Come in sit down, pull up a chair S^Fpeak the truth when you tell me your cares

D^Gon't be afraid to talk to your brother Get a h^Cold of yours^Felf and ^Gdry up your ^Ctears

We'll ^Cstart at the start and end at the end You'll ^Ffind that your mind might possibly mend

Well ^Gsure I can help you 'cos you can't help yourself Have you ^Cfallen in ^Flove ^Gagain ? , have you ^Cfallen in ^Flove ^Gagain ?

Full Chorus: C (D) Sister Jane you gonna change your name F (G) You gotta get out soon before you go insane G (A) Before the town starts talkin' , when they see you out walkin' C (D) G (A) C(D) G(A) It sure does seem a shame, yes it sure does seem a shame C (D) Sister Jane you gonna change your name F (G) And I suggest you catch the 12:45 plane G(D) C (D) F Before the family finds out just what you've done, and holds you at the point G (A) of a gun C (D) F G (A) C (D) And that ain't gonna be much fun, Sister Jane Second Verse :

^CWe'll talk of the future, we'll talk of the past The ^Fodds were against you, it never could last

You ^Gcan't think opinions that change overnight When you ^Cknow what you ^Fdone just ain't ^Gright

You ^Cdon't mean to tell me you finally done it You ^Fplayed at the game and you thought you had won it

And ^Gnow that you find that you're way out of line Well ^Csome people ^Fcall it a ^Gcrime, yeah, you ^Creally have ^Fdone it this ^Gtime

Half Chorus Only :

^CSister Jane you gonna change your name You gotta ^Fget out soon before you go insane

Before the ^Gtown starts talkin' , when they see you out walkin' It ^Csure does seem a ^Gshame, yes it ^Csure does seem a ^Gshame, Sister ^CJane

Third Verse :

You ^Dtold me the truth, you opened your mind I ^Gsaid I would listen and help you unwind

My ^Adear Sister Jane you've caused nothing but pain And I ^Dreally must ^Gtell you this ^Atime

I ^Dknew all along you had to go wrong In ^Gthis kind of town you could never belong

I'm ^Asorry for you and I'm sorry for me T^Dhis is the ^Gway it should ^Aend

'Cos you've ^Dfallen in ^Glove ^Aagain, ^Awe-ell.

Full Chorus : (Use chords in brackets for the final chorus, down to 'point of a gun then repeat chorus and fade, and in line "it sure does seem a shame" only sing this once in the final chorus and not twice as in the other of the chorus) A classic piece that was a winner for the group New World back in 1972 on the British TV Show 'Opportunity Knocks'
