Frank Black & the Catholics
Song: Sister Isabel
Orginally done by: Del Shannon
Tabbed by: Derek (ProverbialCereal)

NOTE: I have a live version of this where it's played in Am
      I tabbed it from a studio version played in Em. Below
      I transposed the chords from Em to Am
      
[VERSE]
Em              A
 Far off in the distance
Em              A
 I can hear the bells
Em         A                   C              Em   
 Beside a church there stands a girl i knew so well
Em        A
 As i get closer
Em            A
 I can feel a chill
       Em                     A        C         Em
 she's changing her name from Laura to sister isabel


[CHORUS]
    Em  C        B                  Em
 Isabel, can you hear the words i'm saying
    Em  C        B                    Em
 Isabel, can you hear me while you're praying


[VERSE 2]
Em              A
 I can still remember
     Em                A
 The Night she said goodbye
     Em               A                 C             Em
 She said we'd meet again some day in a castle in the sky
     Em                A 
 The choir has stopped singing
      Em               A
 I no longer hear the bells
     Em                    A         C        Em
 She changed her name from Laura to sister isabel


[CHORUS]
    Em  C     B            Em
 Isabel, am i really gonna lose you
    Em  C        B                 Em
