Sister Madly Tabs

(ver. 1)
Crowded House
(N. Finn)


NOTES:

-- to play this the way it was originally played, all chords on the 
verses are bar chords:  Em on the 7th fret, A on the 5th fret, and 
C on the 8th fret.

-- in the tab of the Richard Thompson solo, the notation "11^" means to 
play the 11th fret but bend the note up (not necessarily all the way up 
to the tone of the 12th fret--just a quick, ornamental bend.  you know,
Thompson is famous for this kind of thing.)


INTRO:  Em  A  Em  C

Em                         C
all the people that you're standing on
Em                         A
all the people that you're standing on
Em                         C
now you're heading down to be someone
Em                  A
someone that you've seen in a magazine
Em                  C
your premonition is coming true
Em             A

Em             C

Em             A

       Am    D             G     D
sister madly waking up the dead
            Am        D              G      D
you're systematically stepping on my head
       Am    D             G      D

you're systematically stepping on my head


now you're heading down to find something
something that you buried in your back yard
the position is coming through
now you're heading down to be somewhere
somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream
the opposition is coming through
now you better you'd better take a firm hand

sister madly waking up the dead
you're systematically stepping on my head
sister madly waking up the dead
you're systematically stepping on my head
