Verse 1: Bb They'd ask you what you'd like And you'd say "What my sister's having" Bb Same new bike Same new shoes When you were 4, and I, 6 or 7 Gm Always right in your eyes and F Eb Oh, I led the way with pride those years ago Bb It turned to night Close out the door Curl up in bed Bb But leave on the light We'd read books Gm You'd read yours and I'd read mine F Eb But I'd help you with the words you didn't know Pre-chorus: Gm F Eb Oh, I still see you at the edge of your bed Gm F Eb With your freckles and those curls on your head Chorus: Bb I never thought I'd learn so much from you F And for the most part I'm just proud Gm F Eb But I guess a part of me just thought it'd always be the other way around Bb I never thought I'd learn so much from you F I guess I thought I knew it all Gm F Eb I'm sorry I'm just not as great as both of us had thought when we were small Verse 2: Bb They'd ask you "What's your name?" And you'd look at me and you'd stand behind Bb See you were shy The year that you were turning 7, I was 9 Gm But you soon grew to be quite talkative And grew to be quite sure F Eb Doesn't seem all that long ago when were both sat on the floor Bb When we drew pictures of the places that we'd visit in our dreams Bb Turned in to stories Then to poems When you were 12, and I, 14 Gm The year I realised I wasn't always right And that one hurt F Eb I always thought that I knew more And that was just the way it worked Pre-chorus: Gm F Eb Because I still see you at the edge of your bed Gm F Eb With your freckles and those curls on your head Chorus: Bb I never thought I'd learn so much from you F And for the most part I'm just proud Gm F Eb But I guess a part of me just thought it'd always be the other way around Bb I never thought I'd learn so much from you F I guess I thought I knew it all Gm F Eb I'm sorry I'm just not as great as both of us had thought when we were small Verse 3: Eb Now I know I'm probably sounding selfish F Oh, I probably sound a fool Bb Bb Gm F 'Cause of course I want the whole world wide and open for you too Eb F I was just much better as a younger older sister Bb Bb Gm F I hope that it's okay that for a moment I just missed her Eb F But I know how far you'll go Bb Bb Gm F I don't know it all Eb But I know it's lovely who we are F Bb Though lovely who were when we were small This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play Sister on ukulele
A good starting strum for this style is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. This arrangement is in Bb major. This one leans on trickier shapes, with the chords at the proficient level. For easier shapes, shift it down 1 half-step with the transposer and clip a capo on fret 1 to land back in the same key.
