Little Sister by Jewel
Little Sister
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Em
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Em D C G
[Verse]
Em D
Hey little sister, I heard you went to mister so-and-so
C
Knock, knock, knocking on his door
G
Again last night, said you needed it bad
G
You know that ain't right
D
'Cause so many times you've come to me cry, crying
C
Trying to stop, you said it hurts so bad
But please don't let you
G
Go back for more
[Chorus]
Em
My little sister is a zombie in a body
D
With no soul; in a role she has learned to play
C
In a world today where nothing else matters
G Em
But it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls
Not our addictions or afflictions of pain
D
To avoid the same questions we must
C
Ask ourselves to get any answers
G
We gotta start feeding
[Verse 2]
Em
Our souls have been lost to the millions with lots
D
Who feed on addiction selling pills and what's hot
C
I wish I could save her from all their delusions
G
All the confusion
Em
Of a nation that starves for salvation
D
But clothing is the closest approximation
C
To God and He only knows that drugs
G
Are all we know of love
[Interlude]
Em D C G
[Verse 3]
Em D
Every day we starve while we eat white bread
C
And beer instead of a handshake or hug
G
We spill the pills and sweep them under the rug
[Chorus 2]
Em
My little sister is a zombie in a body
D
With no soul; in a role she has learned to play
C
In a world today where nothing else matters
G Em D
But it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls
Yeah, yeah, yeah
C G
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Em D
Hey little sister, I heard you went to mister so-and-so
C
Knock, knock, knocking on his door
G Em
Again last night, said you needed more

Continue picking throughout rest of tune. Jewel doesn't keep her
lyrics lined up nicely with the measures (bless her soul!) so
some of the breaks below might not be quite perfect. Have fun!

version 3
Capo:no capo
So, the tuning for this one's a little odd - it's halfway between E A D G B e and
Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb if that
makes sense. It's not EADGBe because it's a little flatter, but you can play with
an EADGBe tuning - it just
won't sound exactly like the record.

Hey little sister, I heard you went to mister so-and-so
Knock, knock, knocking on his door
Again last night, said you needed it bad
You know that ain't right
'Cause so many times you've come to me cry, crying
Trying to stop, you said it hurts so bad
But please don't let you
Go back for more
My little sister is a zombie in a body
With no soul; in a role she has learned to play
In a world today where nothing else matters
But it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls
Not our addictions or afflictions of pain
To avoid the same questions we must
Ask ourselves to get any answers
We gotta start feeding our souls...
Have been lost to the millions with lots
Who feed on addiction selling pills and what's hot
I wish I could save her from all their delusions
All the confusion
Of a nation that starves for salvation
But clothing is the closest approximation
To God and He only knows that drugs
Are all we know of love
Every day we starve while we eat white bread
And beer instead of a handshake or hug
We spill the pills and sweep them under the rug
My little sister is a zombie in a body
With no soul; in a role she has learned to play
In a world today where nothing else matters
But it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey little sister I heard that you went to Mister So-and-So
Knock, knock, knocking on his door again last night
And said you needed more
