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
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 C G Am F G
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?
