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
