Here I lie in my hospital bed,

Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again.

Oh, I don't think I can wait that long,

Oh, you see that my pain is so stro--ong.

All the other patients say they've never seen a man with such pain,

The scream of the ambulance is soundin' in my ear,
Asus4           Am            Asus4                  Am
Tell me, sister morphine, how long have I been lying here?

What am I doing in this place?
E                           F
Why does the doctor have no face?

Please, sister morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams.

Hey, sister morphine, you'd better make up the lyin' bed,
 G                                 F
'Cause you know and I know, in the morning I'll be dead,
            Am             F          E                        Am
And you can sit around and watch, the clean white sheets stain red.
