Ballad Of Mary Magdalene

Written by Richard Shindell

	  		C Am G F  C Am G F  C Am G F C Am G F 
 
 
C          Am    F 
My name is Mary  Magdalene 
            G      C     F G 
I come from Palestine  
C       Am           F 
Please  excuse these rags I'm in 
                   G    C 
But I've fallen on hard times but 
F     G    F       C    Dm   F        G     F G  
Long ago I had my  work When I was in prime  
C             Am      F 
But I gave it up and all for love 
            G        C    
It was his career or mine 
Am     G        F      C     
Jesus loved me this I know 
F      Am          Dm            G 
Why on earth did I ever let him  go 
       Am     G  
He was always faithful 
       F       C 
He was always  kind 
        F           Dm        G        C    C Am G F   C Am G F  
But he  walked off  with this heart of mine 
C            Am    F 
A love like  this  comes but once 
       G    C     F G 
This I do believe  
C            Am      F 
And I'll not see his like again 
      G        C 
As I  live and breathe and 
F         G    F      C 
I'm sorry if I might offend 
Dm  F             G   F G 
But I  will never see   
C             Am     F 
How the tenderness I shared with him 
         G   C     
Became a heresy  
Am    G        F      C 
Jesus loved me this I know 
F      Am           Dm           G  
Why on earth did I  ever let him go 
       Am     G 
He was always faithful 
        F       C 
He was  always  kind 
        F           Dm        G        C 
But he  walked off  with this heart of mine 
 
C Am G F   C Am G F 
 
C  Am       F                     G        C    F G 
I  remember nights we spent Whispering our creed  
C       Am      F 
Our rituals our sacrament 
           G       C  F        G       F       C 
The stars  our canopy There beneath an olive tree 
Dm          F       G    F G 
We'd offer  up our  plea  
C     Am       F 
God's creation innocent 
         G           C 
His arms surrounding me     
Am    G        F      C 
Jesus loved me this I know 
F      Am           Dm           G  
Why on earth did he ever have to go 
       Am     G 
He was always faithful 
        F       C 
He was  always  kind 
        F           Dm        G        C 
But he  walked off  with this heart of mine 
        Am      G               F       C 
He was  always  faithful he was always  kind 
        F           Dm        G         C    C Am G F  C Am G F G C 
But he  walked off  with this heart of  mine
