Now, play that progression through the first two verses,
At the end of the second verse, the E-A-B to G continues
through that long instrumental part, until you get to the
Bridge:

F-------------C--------------G---------------STAY ON G
You Don't need no more of what's ailing ya'
(Repeat for next part of bridge)
When you get to "America....," play
E-A-B then Fmaj7 (instead of G)
Words:
Sister........ did you have to fall in love
With a man.... that never was
Up to no good. he took your soul
And he left your only heart
Flipped your wig, and left a permanent scar
Sister........ did you have to go away
You left you're home.... and the things you had to say
It didn't feel good... to let you slide
I never got to say goodbye
Miss you girl, I think I'm gonna cry....
If they knock on your door, you already gave
You don't need no more of what's ailin' ya
Just lean on your soul with all that it takes
May god bring you back home to America...America
America....
Sister, sister,sister,sister... It's just a test of faith
Your heart is pure, so the devil's in your face
.....I'll see you soon
Cause they haven't got a case
And you'll be free, in a beautiful place
In a beautiful place....
If they knock on your door, you already gave.

Sister
Did you have to fall in love
With a man
That never was
Up to no good
He took your soul
And he stole your only heart
Flipped your wig and left a permanent scar
Sister
Did you have to go away
You left your home
And the things you had to say
It didn't feel good to let you slide
I never got to say goodbye
I miss you girl I think I'm gonna cry
If they knock on your door
You already gave
You don't need no more of what's ailing you
Just lean on your soul with all that it takes
May god bring you back home to America
America, America, America, America.
Sister, sister, sister, sister, sister
It's just a test of faith
Your heart is pure so the devil's in your face
I'll see you soon
'Cause they haven't got a case
And you'll be free
In a beautiful place, in a beautiful place
In a beautiful place, in a beautiful place
If they knock on your door
You already gave
You can play these transitions whenever you want to as long as at the
correct chord change. If you have the unplugged version it will be
easy to find where these happen. During the Slash's solo Lenny keeps
playing G Esus4 indefinitly.
