O Magdelina, have a talking to your little son
       C                     G
He was looking at your dirty pictures and wondering was he the only one
      C         G       D
Whose story's a heart attack

     G                                 D
Magdelina, do you cry when you're all alone
  C                              G
I wish that I could keep you but that would cheat you

You're better off on your own

C                                 G
Magdelina better leave the rest unsaid
              C                                              G
Cause there's someone else waitin' for you in your red light bed
       C               Em     Am       C         G
Better spend your days making time not making mistakes
         D                    D7
But it's alright you'll see

          G                                  D
Miss Magdeline, I left the money on the chifarobe
         C                         G
And your boss downstairs under the broken chairs, with a black eye and a bloody nose
       C           G        D
Well I told him it would be so

     G                                   D
Magdeline you was preachin' just a-yesterday
             C                 G
That you was born with a money-maker, sugar, so what need do you have of me
  C          G       D
I just wanna make it right

C                                 G
Magdelina better leave the rest unsaid
              C                                              G
Cause there's someone else waitin' for you in your red light bed

         D                    D7
But it's alright you'll see

          C          G
Well that holy water burns your skin and tears you all to bits
       C                             G
It's a shame nobody ever steered you right
C                  G
Fucked to bits all ass and tits
     Em                            C
Well no one sees you but your baby hears you
                              D
So don't stop till you get it all
