            C
There's a chip on your shoulder, girl
        F                  C
And by God it'll make you fall
                                   G
If you let it take a part of your soul
           C
I see the love in your brother's eyes
         Am
And the love in your mother's cries
 C            G                  C
Sister don't test the ones you love

Chorus:
G
Sister don't let go
F                       C
Sister don't let go of us
G
Sister don't let go
F                       C
Sister don't let go of us

Cause your roots will rot away
And your fruit, it won't grow
Your bark will wear thin, body hollow
I see the love in your brother's eyes
And the love in your mother's cries
Sister don't test the ones you love

Chorus - x2

       Am
Don't test the ones you love
Em    F
It'll only tear us down
       Am
If you want to feel alive
Em    F
Then learn to love your ground
       Am
Don't test the ones you love
Em    F
It'll only tear us down
       Am
If you want to feel alive
Em    F
Then learn to love your ground
            C
Love your ground

Chorus - x2
