Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us Tab

by Sam Phillips


Chris Fuller did this marvelous tab for Plant & Krauss' take on this great song.  
Chords are the same for Sam Phillip's (I think better) version.

Verse 1:
                          
Strange things are happening every day
                               (Walking Bass , , )
I hear the music up above my head
	                       
Though the sight of my heart has left me again,
               
I hear music up above

VERSE2
                       
Secrets are written in the sky
                                          (Walking Bass , , )
Looks like I’ve lost the love I’ve never found
                                
Though the sound of hope has left me again,
               
I hear music up above

CHORUS:
                             
Standing in my broken heart all night long
                                  
Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off
                                     
Looking for the lamb that’s hidden in the cross
            
The finder’s lost
	    
I know I’ve loved you too much
                           
I’ll go on alone to get through

SOLO on Verse Chords:

VERSE 3:
                           
I hear Rosetta singing in the night
                                                        (Bass , , )
Echoes of light that shine like stars after they’re gone
                                
Tonight she’s my guide as I go on alone
                  
With the music up above

SOLO on Verse Chords and on the last Cm
