[Verse]
Dm9
The old gates are always locked
G7
By the daughter of the keys
Dm9
Sad eyes are fixed on the world
G7
From the balcony
F G/E
While the six o'clock procession
G7/D Asus4
Take their prayer books to the hall
Dm G
It's sad to see them shed a tear
F Dm7
Inside the convent walls
Dm9
Red mountains around them
G7
Keep out those who'd come
Dm9
But only birds and wild deer
G7
Share the lives of nuns
F G/E
For ladies who in kindness
G7/D Asus4
Burn the knowledge they have found
Dm G
Their knowledge lies inside a hole
F Dm
Buried in the ground
[Chorus]
Dm7 G9
For the Sisters of the Cross
Dm7 G9
Seek the shadows that they have lost
C F
In the walls where their lives
C F
Are protected by God
D7 G9
But the feeling of love
D7 G9
Is somehwere in your bones
F
Your body is wasted
Asus4
When it should have been owned
Dm9
The Mother of the mission bells
G7
Has lived here all her life
Dm9
She never felt the hands of man
G7
Touch her in the night
F G/E
And the canopies that cover her
G7/D Asus4
So cold and so afraid
Dm G
Thinking holy mothers die
F G
Like spinsters in the grave
Dm9
To be single in the chapel
G7
Praying knelt down on your knees
Dm9
Where the corridors are echoing
G7
Their proud solemnity
F G/E
And the candle light against the glass
G7/D Asus4
Plays shadow chasing tricks
Dm G
As the young girls fall, their eyes in tears
F Dm
Beside the crucifix
