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
