Verse 1
A minorAm
Throught the eyes of an innocent child
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Can't hide what is burning inside
A minorAm
The shame and the guilt of disgrace
Fmaj7Fmaj7
They said she had fallen from grace
DmDm
To the arms of a train engineer
A minorAm
Who escaped when the verdict was clear
E minorEm
And saw she was quietly installed
A minorAm
in the Magdalen Laundry
Chorus
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
And oh you can find them there
DmDm G+G
Slaving each day in the heat and the steam
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
And oh every bloody stain
DmDm
Will be carefully scrubbed
G+G
'Till it's white and it's clean
Verse 2
A minorAm
The Sisters got angry today
Fmaj7Fmaj7
They took Bridie Power away
A minorAm
They said she had broken the rules
Fmaj7Fmaj7
She swore that the priest
from the school...
DmDm
If only they'd asked why she cried
A minorAm
They said they'd concluded she'd lied
E minorEm
The priest had his own alibi
A minorAm
In the Magdalen Laundry
Chorus
Bridge
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC G+G
A augmentedA world set apart by magnolia walls
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And it's hard to believe
C majorC G+G
That this happened at all
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC G+G
Pray the meek shall inhert this heart
Verse 3
A minorAm
The Sisters of Mercy still live
Fmaj7Fmaj7
In the convent on top of the hill
A minorAm
The walls of the laundries came down
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Exposing their sins to the town
DmDm
The ghosts of the girls who had died
A minorAm
The souls of the ones who survived
E minorEm
Echo their protest inside
A minorAm
The Magdalen Laundry
Chorus x2
