Bear's Den


Tom: Am

Am      C             F           C
Sing a song for the daughters of Magdalene
G     Am              F        G
All tied up in their white ribbon
Am         C         F               C
November came and before I got your letter
         G      Am              F        G
I will love you better, I will love you true


[Interlude]
Am C F C  G Am F G


[Verse 2]
Am    C           F            C         
Everyday, I would wait by the gates for you
G         Am            F         G
But with time how your heart withdrew
Am           C            F          C
You said I'd never understand the pain
     G         Am           F            G 
Or share the shame but you know that I wanted to


[Chorus]
Am        C      F
But you gave me hope
             C
And now you take it away
G     Am     F
You took my love
            G
And now you celebrate
Am         C      F
When the morning comes
      C       G
No I don't believe
        Am          F
That my god, oh my god
              G
How could you take her from me?


[Interlude]
Am C F C  G Am F G


[Verse 2]
Am        C            F          C
And so I told and the sisters of mercy came
G         Am         F     G
By your school just yesterday
Am       C            F             C
I never meant for to cause you any pain
           G      Am              F    G
I want to make it better, make it go away

Am         C             F           C
So sing a song, for the daughters of Magdalene
G     Am                  F    G
All smothered neath the white linen
Am       C                F    C   
If Mary knew how she was being used,
     G      Am                F      G
So misconstrued, how you were being used


[Chorus]
Am        C      F
But you gave me hope
             C
And now you take it away
G     Am     F
You took my love
            G
And now you celebrate
Am         C      F
When the morning comes
      C       G
No I don't believe
        Am          F
That my god, oh my god
              G
How could you take her from me?

Am        C      F
But you gave me hope
             C
And now you take it away
G     Am     F
You took my love
            G
And now you celebrate
Am         C      F
When the morning comes
      C       G
No I don't believe
        Am          F
That my god, oh my god
              G
How could you take her from me?
