[Intro]

Am C F C G Am F G

(x2)

[Verse 1]

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

[Interlude]

Am C F C G Am F G

[Verse 2]

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

And now you take it away

G Am F

You took my love

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

How could you take her from me?

[Interlude]

Am C F C G Am F G

[Verse 2]

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

And now you take it away

G Am F

You took my love

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

How could you take her from me?

Am C F

But you gave me hope

And now you take it away

G Am F

You took my love

And now you celebrate

Am C F

When the morning comes

C G

No I don't believe

That my god, oh my god

How could you take her from me?
