    G                        C       G
I'm singing this song for my sister Sinead
                         D                     
Concerning the god-awful mess that she made
         G                          C           G
When she told 'em her truth just as hard as she could
                           D       G
Her message profoundly was misunderstood


There's humans with guarding our gold
And humans  in charge of the saving of souls
And humans resounded all over the world
Condemnin' that bald-headed brave little girl


CHORUS:
    C                     G
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
    C                  G           D
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
          G                     C           G
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
                               D            G
She's too old for breakin' and too young to tame


(KEY CHANGE TO A)

      A                    D               A
It's askin' for trouble to stick out your neck
                            E
In terms of a target, a big sillouhette
    A                        D             A
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
                            E         A
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead


CHORUS:
    D                     A
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
    D                  A            E
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
          A                     D           A
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
                               E             A
She's too old for breakin' and too young to tame
