Sister, help to trim the sail, alleluya, Sister, help to trim the sail, alleluya. Michael's boat's a gospel boat, alleluya, Michael's boat's a gospel boat, alleluya. Jordan's river is chilly and cold, alleluya, Chills the body but warms the soul, alleluya. Jordan river is deep and wide, alleluya, Meet my mother on the other side, alleluya. ************************************ | h Hammer on | p Pull off | / Slide up | \ Slide down a Arpeggio (all notes in the chord are played harp-like in fast sequence) + Eighth ************************************
