I've taken Sam's interpretation and made some minor changes
that made it easier for me to learn to sing and play Little Sister.
I've added measures to the tab and broken the lyrics into measures.
Everything else is the same. Oh, yeah... I changed 2p0 to 3p2 in
the D chords...play it like you like! Thank you Sam!

Continue picking throughout rest of tune. Jewel doesn't keep her
lyrics lined up nicely with the measures (bless her soul!) so
some of the breaks below might not be quite perfect. Have fun!
D: Hey little sister I heard you went to Mr.
D: So and So, knock, knock, knocking on
C: his door again last night, said you
G: needed it bad- you know that ain't right.
D: 'Cause so many times you've come to
D: me cry crying trying to stop, you said it
C: hurts so bad but please don't let you
G: go back for more.
D: My little sister is a Zombie in a body with no
D: soul a role she has learned to play in a
C: world today where nothing else matters
G: but it matters, we gotta start feeding our
D: souls Not our addictions or afflictons of pain to
D: avoid the same questions we must
C: ask ourselves to get any answers.
G: We gotta start feeding our
D: souls have been lost to the millions with lots
D: who feed on addictions selling pills and what's hot I
C: wish I could save her from all their delusions,
G: all the confusion
D: of a nation that starves for salvation
D: but clothing is the closest approximation to
C: God and he only knows that drugs are
G: all we know of love
[Instrumental Verse]
D: Every day we starve while we eat white
D: bread and beer instead of a handshake or
C: hug we spill the pills and sweep them
G: under the rug
D: My little sister is a Zombie in a body with
D: no soul a role she has learned to play in a
C: world today where nothing else matters
G: but it matters we gotta start feeding our
D: sooouuuls...

D: Hey little sister i heard you went to Mr.
D: So and So's knock, knock, knocking on his
C: door again last night said you
G: needed more.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JEWEL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
