Magdalene Laundry by Frances Black

Chords with lyrics

Love this song, but couldnt find the chords anywhere!!
Hope I did it justice, hope you all find it helpful.
Its pretty easy. This is my first tab so feel free to send me corrections and comments! XX

The strumming pattern I use is "Down,down,up,down,up,down,up"
No Capo and normal tuning.

Verse 1
            Chord diagramA minorAm
Throught the eyes of an innocent child
          Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
Can't hide what is burning inside
         Chord diagramA minorAm
The shame and the guilt of disgrace
          Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
 They said she had fallen from grace
         Chord diagramDmDm
To the arms of a train engineer
           Chord diagramA minorAm
Who escaped when the verdict was clear
        Chord diagramE minorEm
And saw she was quietly installed
        Chord diagramA minorAm
in the Magdalen Laundry

Chorus
  Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7    Chord diagramC majorC
And oh you can find them there
Chord diagramDmDm           Chord diagramG+G
Slaving each day in the heat and the steam
 Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7   Chord diagramC majorC
And oh every bloody stain
    Chord diagramDmDm
Will be carefully scrubbed
             Chord diagramG+G
'Till it's white and it's clean

Verse 2
        Chord diagramA minorAm
The Sisters got angry today
         Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
 They took Bridie Power away
         Chord diagramA minorAm
They said she had broken the rules
          Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
She swore that the priest

from the school...
        Chord diagramDmDm
If only they'd asked why she cried
          Chord diagramA minorAm
They said they'd concluded she'd lied
          Chord diagramE minorEm
 The priest had his own alibi
        Chord diagramA minorAm
In the Magdalen Laundry

Chorus

Bridge
Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7          Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramG+G
Chord diagramA augmentedA world set apart by magnolia walls
Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
And it's hard to believe
     Chord diagramC majorC         Chord diagramG+G
That this happened at all
Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7        Chord diagramC majorC         Chord diagramG+G
Pray the meek shall inhert this heart

Verse 3
        Chord diagramA minorAm
The Sisters of Mercy still live
         Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
In the convent on top of the hill
         Chord diagramA minorAm
The walls of the laundries came down
        Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
Exposing their sins to the town
         Chord diagramDmDm
The ghosts of the girls who had died
         Chord diagramA minorAm
The souls of the ones who survived
      Chord diagramE minorEm
Echo their protest inside
       Chord diagramA minorAm
The Magdalen Laundry

Chorus x2
