Magdalene Lane Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
The angels are [G]lost in the city of stars
Wise men are down on their knees
And the Fruitman of Freeway
will sell you his cars
When he's sure that you can't
find the keys
And the [Am]ladies on [D]Magdalene [G]Lane
[Am]All worship [D]the sun and [G]the sand
[Am]And the migrants who [D]come
can't com[G]plain
[C]For this is [Am]their [D]promised [G]lan[Am]d[C]
[D][G]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]MGM studios can't make the nut
They're auctioning Dorothy's shoes
Gable is gone, the good witch is a slut
And I've got the parking-lot blues
blues
[Am]The wizard brought benze[D]drine smil[G]es
And [Am]he never let D[D]orothy d[G]oze
Ha- she [Am]died as she [D]walked down [G]the aisle
[C]And all that re[Am]mains is [D]her clothes
[C]Over the rainbow

[Verse 3]
[D]a K[G]ansas tornad[Em]o
[C]Can twist up [D]a little girl's [G]head
[C]Aunt Em's on re[D]lief and
the tin [G]man's a [Em]thief
[C]And even the wiz[Am]ard can't wake
the [D]dead

[Interlude 2]
[G][Am][C][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
The [G]prophet has come to
the kingdom of lights
But there's no one to listen or learn
And the saviour performs for
the prophet's delight
While dissenters are banished or burned
And the [Am]heretics [D]beg to be [G]heard
But the [Am]sa viour's on to[D]ur for the w[G]eek
Sal[Am]vation is [D]found in his [G]word
[C]If only [Am]he'd learn how [D]to speak!

[Verse 5]
[C]And Lincoln is [D]laughing
[G]with Amos [Em]and Andy
Con[C]cerning [D]the great Civil [G]War
And [C]Paul Revere [D]sleeps with
the worst-look[G]ing creeps
creep[Em]s
[C]While revolution's [Am]knocking at [D]his

[G][Am][C][D][G]

[Verse 6]
[G]Magdalene [Am]Lane is [G]the red-light domain
do[Am]main
[G]Where everyone's [C]soul is for [D]sale
[G]A piece of your heart will do for [Am]a start
[C]You can send us [D]the rest in the [G]mail
For [C]we have our own [D]families to [G]feed
And we [Am]can't let them [D]starve just [G]for you
But [Am]we'd rather not [D]watch while you [G]bleed
So [C]come back in [Am]an hour
when you're [D]through

[Verse 7]
It's [G]just another city full of sor[Am]row
[C]Makes no [D]differ
