Sister, Mother
 By Sixpence None The Richer

I love this song!  I couldn't find a good tab for it, so I tried to figure it out 
 Returning to the F# after each phrase of the chorus is optional.  I like to play it that way, 
I'm not sure that they actually do that on the recording.

F#* & E* are my way of pointing out that these two chords are played higher on the neck: 
is on fret 9 (x91111119), and E* on fret 7 (x79997). (you could also just play the 
F# and E if you want).
