This is one of the new, unreleased Sisters’ songs (a.k.a. “Slept”). The tab is based on
bootleg recording from the Sisters’ gig in Athens (04/01/06)so may be not very right,
but it sounds ok. I found the lyrics somewhere on net (I don’t remember were) and they seem
to be ok too. For comments etc. please contact me.

Am C Em
Oh shake me down again.
Am C Em
Oh fade me down again.
Am C Em
Oh shake me down again.
Am C Em
I can wake up in this zoo.
Am C
I've been used and abused
Em
I've been chastened, I've been bruised
Am C
I can take what I've been through
Em
I've been naked on the news
Am C
I've been debased and disabused,
Em
Just meet me downtown, when you're through

Guitar 2 :
Am C
Girls on smoke and girls on weed
Em
Girls and coke and girls on speed
Am C
Girls who choke and girls who smile
Em
Girls who swallow in denial
Am C
Girls in crisis of the hips
Em
Girls with eyes as white as Egypt
Am C
Girls in cars and girls on streets
Em
Girls in bars and girls in strips
Am C
Girls on journeys, girls on trips
Em
Girls on gurneys, girls on drips
Am C
And a girl too far with pale blue lips
Em
So shake me down again.
Am C
Girls like you have poison tips
Em
Girls like you like pistol whips
Am C
And girls who knew the sailor's creed
Em
With a third degree in jealousy, so
