[Verse]
Em9
The old gates are always locked
A7
By the daughter of the keys
Em9
Sad eyes are fixed on the world
A7
From the balcony
G A/F#
While the six o'clock procession
A7/E Bsus4
Take their prayer books to the hall
Em A
It's sad to see them shed a tear
G Em7
Inside the convent walls
Em9
Red mountains around them
A7
Keep out those who'd come
Em9
But only birds and wild deer
A7
Share the lives of nuns
G A/F#
For ladies who in kindness
A7/E Bsus4
Burn the knowledge they have found
Em A
Their knowledge lies inside a hole
G Em
Buried in the ground
[Chorus]
Em7 A9
For the Sisters of the Cross
Em7 A9
Seek the shadows that they have lost
D G
In the walls where their lives
D G
Are protected by God
E7 A9
But the feeling of love
E7 A9
Is somehwere in your bones
G
Your body is wasted
Bsus4
When it should have been owned
Em9
The Mother of the mission bells
A7
Has lived here all her life
Em9
She never felt the hands of man
A7
Touch her in the night
G A/F#
And the canopies that cover her
A7/E Bsus4
So cold and so afraid
Em A
Thinking holy mothers die
G A
Like spinsters in the grave
Em9
To be single in the chapel
A7
Praying knelt down on your knees
Em9
Where the corridors are echoing
A7
Their proud solemnity
G A/F#
And the candle light against the glass
A7/E Bsus4
Plays shadow chasing tricks
Em A
As the young girls fall, their eyes in tears
G Em
Beside the crucifix
