    Verse 1
    The 
    old 
    gates 
    are 

    always 
    locked 

    By 
    the 
    daughter 
    of 
    the 
    keys 

    Sad 
    eyes 
    are 
    fixed 
    on 
    the world 

    From 
    the 
    balcony 

    While 
    the six 
    o'clock 
    proces
    sion 

    Take 
    their 
    pray
    er 
    books 

    to 
    the 
    hall 

    It's 
    sad 
    to 
    see 
    them 
    shed 
    tear 

    Inside 
    the 
    con
    vent 
    walls 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    Red 
    mountains 
    around 
    them 

    Keep 
    out 
    those 
    who'd 
    come 

    But 
    only 
    birds 
    and 
    wild 
    deer

    Share 
    the 
    lives 
    of 
    nuns 

    For 
    ladies 
    who 
    in 
    kind
    ness 

    Burn 
    the 
    know
    ledge 
    they 
    have 
    found 

    Their 
    knowledge 
    lies 
    inside 
    hole 

    Bur
    ied 
    in 
    the 
    ground 

    Verse 3
    For 
    the Sisters 
    of 
    the Cross 

    Seek 
    the shadows 
    that 
    they 
    have 
    lost 

    In 
    the walls 
    where 
    their 
    lives 

    Are protected 
    by 
    God 

    But 
    the 
    feeling 
    of 
    love 

    Is somewhere 
    in 
    your 
    bones 

    Your 
    body 
    is 
    wasted 

    Interlude 2
    When 
    it should 
    have 
    been 
    owned 


    Verse 4
    The Mother 
    of 
    the mission 
    bells 

    Has 
    lived 
    here 
    all 
    her 
    life 

    She 
    never 
    felt 
    the 
    hands 
    of 
    man 

    Touch 
    her 
    in 
    the night 

    And 
    the 
    canopies 
    that 
    cover 
    her 

    So 
    cold 
    and 
    so 
    afraid 

    Thinking 
    holy 
    mothers 
    die 

    Like 
    spinster
    in 
    the 
    grave 

    Verse 5

    To 
    be 
    single 
    in 
    the chapel 

    Praying 
    knelt 
    down 
    on 
    your 
    knees 

    Where 
    the 
    corridors 
    are 
    echoing 

    Their 
    proud 
    solemnity 

    And 
    the 
    candle 
    light 
    again
    st the 
    glass 

    Plays 
    shadow 
    chasing 
    trick

    As 
    the young 
    girls 
    fall, 

    their 
    eyes 
    in 
    tears 

    Beside 
    the 
    cru
    ci
    fix 

    Verse 6
    For 
    the Sisters 
    of 
    the Cross 

    Seek 
    the shadows 
    that 
    they 
    have 
    lost 

    In 
    the walls 
    where 
    their 
    lives 

    Are 
    protected 
    by 
    God 

    But 
    the 
    feeling 
    of 
    love 

    Is 
    somewhere 
    in 
    your 
    bones 

    Your 
    body 
    is 
    wasted 

    Outro 1
    When 
    it should 
    have 
    been 
    owned

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
