Gm7 Am7 A# Gm9
[Verse]
Gm9
The old gates are always locked
C7
By the daughter of the keys
Gm9
Sad eyes are fixed on the world
C7
From the balcony
A# C/A
While the six o'clock procession
C7/G Dsus4
Take their prayer books to the hall
Gm C
It's sad to see them shed a tear
A# Gm7
Inside the convent walls
Gm9
Red mountains around them
C7
Keep out those who'd come
Gm9
But only birds and wild deer
C7
Share the lives of nuns
A# C/A
For ladies who in kindness
C7/G Dsus4
Burn the knowledge they have found
Gm C
Their knowledge lies inside a hole
A# Gm
Buried in the ground
[Chorus]
Gm7 C9
For the Sisters of the Cross
Gm7 C9
Seek the shadows that they have lost
F A#
In the walls where their lives
F A#
Are protected by God
G7 C9
But the feeling of love
G7 C9
Is somehwere in your bones
A#
Your body is wasted
Dsus4
When it should have been owned
Gm9
The Mother of the mission bells
C7
Has lived here all her life
Gm9
She never felt the hands of man
C7
Touch her in the night
A# C/A
And the canopies that cover her
C7/G Dsus4
So cold and so afraid
Gm C
Thinking holy mothers die
A# C
Like spinsters in the grave
Gm9
To be single in the chapel
C7
Praying knelt down on your knees
Gm9
Where the corridors are echoing
C7
Their proud solemnity
A# C/A
And the candle light against the glass
C7/G Dsus4
Plays shadow chasing tricks
Gm C
As the young girls fall, their eyes in tears
A# Gm
Beside the crucifix
