Intro
A#
[Verse 1]
A# Gm
Joanie was an unmarried girl just turned twenty-seven
A# Gm
When they sent her to the sisters because of the way men looked at her
D# Gm
Branded as a jezebel she knew she was not bound for heaven
D# F A#
She had been cast in shame into the Magdalene laundries
[Verse 2]
A# Gm
Most girls went there pregnant some by their own fathers
A# Gm
Bridget got her belly from the Parish Priest
D# Gm
They're trying to get things as white as snow, all of those woe-begotten daughters
D# F A#
In the steaming stains of the Magdalene laundries
[Bridge]
D# Gm
Prostitutes and destitutes and temptresses like Joanie
D# Gm
Fallen women sentenced into dreamless drudgery
D# Gm
Why do the call this place Our Lady Of Charity?
D#
Of Charity?
[Verse 3]
A# Gm
These bloodless brides of Jesus if they could just once glimpse their groom
A# Gm
They'd drop the stones concealed behind their rosaries
D# Gm
They wilt the grass they walk upon they leech the light out of a room
D# F A#
They'd like to wash those girls down the drains of The Magdalene Launderies
[Outro]
A# Gm
Peg O'Connell died today. She was a cheeky girl, they stuffed her in a hole
A# Gm
Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring
D# Gm
Joanie thinks she'll die there too and that they'll tramp her in the dirt
D# Gm
Like some lame bulb that never will bloom when the springtime comes
D#
When the springtime comes
Gm
When the springtime comes
D#
When the springtime comes
Gm D# Gm D# F#m
