Intro
Fm7 Gm7 G# Fm9
[Verse]
Fm9
The old gates are always locked
A#7
By the daughter of the keys
Fm9
Sad eyes are fixed on the world
A#7
From the balcony
G# A#/G
While the six o'clock procession
A#7/F Csus4
Take their prayer books to the hall
Fm A#
It's sad to see them shed a tear
G# Fm7
Inside the convent walls
Fm9
Red mountains around them
A#7
Keep out those who'd come
Fm9
But only birds and wild deer
A#7
Share the lives of nuns
G# A#/G
For ladies who in kindness
A#7/F Csus4
Burn the knowledge they have found
Fm A#
Their knowledge lies inside a hole
G# Fm
Buried in the ground
[Chorus]
Fm7 A#9
For the Sisters of the Cross
Fm7 A#9
Seek the shadows that they have lost
D# G#
In the walls where their lives
D# G#
Are protected by God
F7 A#9
But the feeling of love
F7 A#9
Is somehwere in your bones
G#
Your body is wasted
Csus4
When it should have been owned
Fm9
The Mother of the mission bells
A#7
Has lived here all her life
Fm9
She never felt the hands of man
A#7
Touch her in the night
G# A#/G
And the canopies that cover her
A#7/F Csus4
So cold and so afraid
Fm A#
Thinking holy mothers die
G# A#
Like spinsters in the grave
Fm9
To be single in the chapel
A#7
Praying knelt down on your knees
Fm9
Where the corridors are echoing
A#7
Their proud solemnity
G# A#/G
And the candle light against the glass
A#7/F Csus4
Plays shadow chasing tricks
Fm A#
As the young girls fall, their eyes in tears
G# Fm
Beside the crucifix
