Am7 Bm7 C Am9
[Verse]
Am9
The old gates are always locked
D7
By the daughter of the keys
Am9
Sad eyes are fixed on the world
D7
From the balcony
C D/B
While the six o'clock procession
D7/A Esus4
Take their prayer books to the hall
Am D
It's sad to see them shed a tear
C Am7
Inside the convent walls
Am9
Red mountains around them
D7
Keep out those who'd come
Am9
But only birds and wild deer
D7
Share the lives of nuns
C D/B
For ladies who in kindness
D7/A Esus4
Burn the knowledge they have found
Am D
Their knowledge lies inside a hole
C Am
Buried in the ground
[Chorus]
Am7 D9
For the Sisters of the Cross
Am7 D9
Seek the shadows that they have lost
G C
In the walls where their lives
G C
Are protected by God
A7 D9
But the feeling of love
A7 D9
Is somehwere in your bones
C
Your body is wasted
Esus4
When it should have been owned
Am9
The Mother of the mission bells
D7
Has lived here all her life
Am9
She never felt the hands of man
D7
Touch her in the night
C D/B
And the canopies that cover her
D7/A Esus4
So cold and so afraid
Am D
Thinking holy mothers die
C D
Like spinsters in the grave
Am9
To be single in the chapel
D7
Praying knelt down on your knees
Am9
Where the corridors are echoing
D7
Their proud solemnity
C D/B
And the candle light against the glass
D7/A Esus4
Plays shadow chasing tricks
Am D
As the young girls fall, their eyes in tears
C Am
Beside the crucifix
