Oh Sister (ver 2) by Neutral Milk Hotel

The other tab on here is for an earlier version, this is the version on the Ferris Wheel on Fire EP.

G
Oh sister, don't be afraid of me
I won't be nailing you down in the nursery
C
Just like the rest of them did
With those watery, wandering fingers that slipped
                         G              C G
That were supposed to be glorious and fine

G
Oh sister, won't you believe in me
I only wanted to be hard on your family
C
Here with you now in this silly infirmary
Your mother makes frantic and drunk calls from Germany
G           C G
All of the time

G
Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahry
And milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry
C
there in the parlor all naked in front of me
                                                   
Watching the lights from the cracks 
               G         C  G
Making archery animal designs

Em                            C
Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything
G                                 D
With fleshy free and flowering like oranges out in the open
Em
But don't you waste your sins again
C
She don't need you
or won't fuck your friends
G                              D
And you, your American self important boiling over
Em
To prove that she must still exist
C
she moves herself about her fist
G
and never ever give a shit
D
about all those words you're wasting again
Em       C                    G
Some pretty bright and bubbly wondrous dream
              D
You'd like to kill and cling
And claim her as your own
Em
But don't you worry
C                       G                 
All those dainty and dirty emotions 
      D
just go away and fade out on their own
G
Sister, now that you're leaving
Our fingers will falter
Our lungs will be leaking
C
All over each other and without even speaking
We'll know that it's over and smiling or greeting
G                C G
Whatever comes next

G
And oh sister
You're getting married with some angry twister
                                 C
That you'll have to carry home drunk every evening from the cemetery
And if he makes it back half alive you can bury him
G             C  G
Under your sheets

G
And oh sister
now that you're greaving
I can not imagine there is any meaning
C
forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on
                                  G            C  G
and pretend you were breathing of all of this world
In an age of empty rings
D                        C
I don't want to feel a thing
                      G        C  G
I don't even want to know

                       D
and Rose Wallace Goldeline
                      C
don't you ever die on me
                           G
Don't you own the way you go
