Magdalene

Intro: Am C F C  G Am F G 


Verse: 
Am      C             F           C 
Sing a song for the daughters of Magdalene 
G     Am              F        G 
All tied up in their white ribbon 
Am         C         F               C 
November came and before I got your letter 
         G      Am              F        G 
I will love you better, I will love you true 

Am C F C  G Am F G 

Am    C           F            C          
Everyday, I would wait by the gates for you 
G         Am            F         G 
But with time how your heart withdrew 
Am           C            F          C 
You said I'd never understand the pain 
     G         Am           F            G  
Or share the shame but you know that I wanted to 


Am        C      F 
But you gave me hope 
             C 
And now you take it away 
G     Am     F 
You took my love 
            G 
And now you celebrate 
Am         C      F 
When the morning comes 
      C       G 
No I don't believe 
        Am          F 
That my god, oh my god 
              G 
How could you take her from me?

Verse: 
Am        C            F          C 
And so I told and the sisters of mercy came 
G         Am         F     G 
By your school just yesterday 
Am       C            F             C 
I never meant for to cause you any pain 
           G      Am              F    G 
I want to make it better, make it go away 

Am         C             F           C 
So sing a song, for the daughters of Magdalene 
G     Am                  F    G 
All smothered neath the white linen 
Am       C                F    C    
If Mary knew how she was being used, 
     G      Am                F      G 
So misconstrued, how you were being used 


Chorus: 
Am        C      F 
But you gave me hope 
             C 
And now you take it away 
G     Am     F 
You took my love 
            G 
And now you celebrate 
Am         C      F 
When the morning comes 
      C       G 
No I don't believe 
        Am          F 
That my god, oh my god 
              G 
How could you take her from me? 

Am        C      F 
But you gave me hope 
             C 
And now you take it away 
G     Am     F 
You took my love 
            G 
And now you celebrate 
Am         C      F 
When the morning comes 
      C       G 
No I don't believe 
        Am          F 
That my god, oh my god 
              G 
How could you take her from me?
