E5                             G#5 
Life is not easy for Sister Marie 
    D5                            F#5 
She finds that her thought is in error 
    G5                         A5 
Her captive face haunting the mirror 
      B5 
Discomforts her 


    E5                            G#5 
She listens intently to Father McGhee 
      D5                         F#5 
As he tells her that faith is a blessing 
        G5                        A5 
And she worries that he might be guessing 
    B5 
His irony 
E5                        D5    
It would be nice just to live like a lady 
B5                      E5 
And to have someone to marry 
                         D5 
It would be nice to have someone to care for 
B5                        E5 
Someone to care when I'm buried  
Carefully presenting the semblance of peace 
She fulfills her various duties 
Until all the changes she goes through 
Have wearied her 

She writes to her sister at school in the East 
To enquire how she is progressing 
And startles herself by confessing 
Her jealousy
