[Intro] A D A F#m E A [Verse 1]
They burAied my bEody on F#mChristmas In the gAround byD the soutEh river bank WorkAed to my dEeath, for mF#my very last breath I'd the WinDchester biEshops to thAank Now the chuArch held the kEeys to the broF#mthel Lit the wDindow with a burAning red liEght While I Ateased the funEds from the poF#mckets of johns The bDishop got Erich in the niAght
[Pre Refrain]
But I diEdn't fall apart Through Emy years in the dark For my lEover I guarded My pure,E pure heart
[Refrain]
And he meAets me in the graDveyard The graAveyard where they made my Ebed Plants aA white flower under coDld stars On the grF#mave of the forEgotten dAead F#m E A
[Verse 2]
Now the biAshops snuck oEff to fresh pastF#mures While my gDrave was grown ovAer with weeEds No buriAal ploEts, just some foF#mrget-me-nots For the woDmen they bEranded uncAlean The wastAeland was clEaimed by the ciF#mty They covDered it with tenAement sluEms For whAere we'd been leEft had never been F#mblessed And they duDg down and bEuilt on our bAones
[Pre Refrain]
But evEery December With Efrost on his fingers My loEver returns For hEe still remembers
[Refrain]
To meAet me in the gravDeyard The graAveyard where they made my Ebed Plants a wAhite flower under coDld stars On the graF#mve of the fEorgotten dAead
[Instrumental] F#m E A A Dm A Dm [Bridge]
The sAun goes down and the lDmast folk leave It's LoAndon Town on Christmas DmEve My lovAer still wanders bereDmft and bereaved For he canA't find the woman that he pDmromised he'd meet The suAn comes up on the colDmd, cold ground It's ChrisAtmas morning in LondDmon Town He laAys on my grave and he cradDmles his head And as he heAars the church bells, he kDmnows that I'm dead
[Verse 3]
So LonAdon, don't moEurn for your F#mlovers Raise a gDlass for us gloArious dEead For beneAath Southwark strEeets, we outlasF#mted the priests And the ciDty's raised uEp on our bF#m/Aeds Though we're gDone, London, do Enot forAget
[Verse 4]
To meeAt us on ChrisDtmas In the graAveyard where they made our Ebed Plant a wAhite flower for the ouDtcasts On the grF#maves of the forgEotten deaDd Oh to mAeet us on ChrisDtmas In the grAaveyard where they made our bEed Plant a wAhite flower for thDe outcasts On the graF#mves of the fEorgotten deDad
[Outro]
In the GraF#mveyard of the OuEtcast DeAad
