No Capo and normal tuning. 

Verse 1
                        A5
Throught the eyes of an innocent child
                   F5
Can't hide what is burning inside
                  A5
The shame and the guilt of disgrace
                   F5
 They said she had fallen from grace
                 D5 
To the arms of a train engineer
                     A5
Who escaped when the verdict was clear
                E5
And saw she was quietly installed
                A5
in the Magdalen Laundry

Chorus
   F5        C5
And oh you can find them there
D5                      G5
Slaving each day in the heat and the steam
  F5      C5
And oh every bloody stain
        D5          
Will be carefully scrubbed
                          G5
'Till it's white and it's clean

Verse 2
                A5
The Sisters got angry today
                  F5
 They took Bridie Power away
                  A5
They said she had broken the rules
                   F5
She swore that the priest
 
from the school...
               D5
If only they'd asked why she cried
                    A5
They said they'd concluded she'd lied
                    E5
 The priest had his own alibi
                A5
In the Magdalen Laundry

Chorus

Bridge
F5                   C5             G5
A world set apart by magnolia walls
F5
And it's hard to believe
          C5                  G5
That this happened at all
F5               C5                  G5 
Pray the meek shall inhert this heart

Verse 3
               A5
The Sisters of Mercy still live
                  F5
In the convent on top of the hill
                 A5 
The walls of the laundries came down
               F5
Exposing their sins to the town
                  D5
The ghosts of the girls who had died
                 A5
The souls of the ones who survived
           E5
Echo their protest inside
             A5
The Magdalen Laundry
