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