Intro

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