Intro

Am

Verse

Am                         F       C
Shes been waiting for her fathers mercy
C                                     E
that idol that came stepping from the sky
Am                                               F     C
like those before and those to come shes counting all her chickens
C                                        E           Am
shes setting them and counting fore the hatchins even done

Verse

Am                      F         C
Heavenly favours cannot end her longing
C                                  E
shes settled on that honey-coloured hell
Am                                    F            C
tarred and feathered bretheren try pushing her to glory
C                                      E              Am
theyre pushing her to follow them and drink from heavens well

Chorus

F                           G  C
Well its all for one, but none for her
C                    F              G
shes choking on the glamour and the glare
F                                      G           C
well i cling to this orchard like the gospels only tree
C                   F             G
and faced this rich illusion on a dare
                Am   F       Am
she breaks my skin my magdalene

Verse

Am                           F             C
Her mother is watching while shes growing skinny
C                               E
and losing all the color in her cheeks
Am                             F               C
cherrycoke and applepie wont make her daughter happy
C                                        E                 Am
shes chasing dragons in her dreams and sleeping through the weeks

Chorus

F                           G     C
Well it´s all for one, but none for her
C                     F              G
shes drowning in the glamour and the sin
F                                    G                  C
well i picked this orchard till the trees were dry and bare
C                      F          G
and watched her die my lovely magdalene
Am
She breaks my skin
F
That hurt within
Am
My Magdalene
