Verse 2
(A minor) Red mountains around them (D major)
Keep out those who'd come (A minor)
But only birds and wild deer (D major)
Share the lives of nuns
For (C major) ladies who in kind (B minor) ness
Burn the know (D major) ledge (D minor) they have (D major) found (E minor) (E major)
Their (E minor) knowledge lies inside a (A minor) hole (D minor)
Bur (G major) ied in the (A minor) ground
Verse 3
(A minor) For the Sisters (D major) of the Cross
(A minor) Seek the shadows (D major) that they have lost (G major)
In the walls where their (C major) lives (G major)

But the feeling (D major) of love
Is somewhere (A major) in (D major) your bones (C major)
Your body is wasted (E minor)

(D major) Has lived here all her life (G major)
(A minor) She never felt the hands of man (D major)
Touch her in the night
And the (C major) canopies that cover (B minor) her
So cold (D minor) and so afraid (E minor) (E major) (E minor)
Thinking holy mothers (G major) die (D minor)
Like spinster (E minor) s in the (A minor) grave
(Asus4) (A minor) (Asus4)

To be single in the chapel
Praying (D major) knelt down on your knees (A minor)
Where the corridors are echoing
(D major) Their proud solemnity
And the (C major) candle light again (G major) st the (B minor) glass
Plays shadow (D major) chasing trick (E minor) s (E major)
(E minor) As the young girls fall,
their eyes in (D minor) tears
Beside the (C major) cru (E minor) ci (A minor) fix

(A minor) Seek the shadows (D major) that they have lost (G major)
In the walls where their (C major) lives (G major)

But the feeling (D major) of love
Is (A major) somewhere (A minor) in your bones (D major) (C major)
Your body is wasted (E minor)
