[Verse 1]
B F# G#m
They buried my body on Christmas
B E F#
In the ground by the south river bank
B F# G#m
Worked to my death, for my very last breath
E F# B
I'd the Winchester bishops to thank
B F# G#m
Now the church held the keys to the brothel
E B F#
Lit the window with a burning red light
B F# G#m
While I teased the funds from the pockets of johns
E F# B
The bishop got rich in the night
[Pre Refrain]
F#
But I didn't fall apart
F#
Through my years in the dark
F#
For my lover I guarded
F#
My pure, pure heart
[Refrain]
B E
And he meets me in the graveyard
B F#
The graveyard where they made my bed
B E
Plants a white flower under cold stars
G#m F# B G#m F# B
On the grave of the forgotten dead
[Verse 2]
B F# G#m
Now the bishops snuck off to fresh pastures
E B F#
While my grave was grown over with weeds
B F# G#m
No burial plots, just some forget-me-nots
E F# B
For the women they branded unclean
B F# G#m
The wasteland was claimed by the city
E B F#
They covered it with tenement slums
B F# G#m
For where we'd been left had never been blessed
E F# B
And they dug down and built on our bones
[Pre Refrain]
F#
But every December
F#
With frost on his fingers
F#
My lover returns
F#
For he still remembers
[Refrain]
B E
To meet me in the graveyard
B F#
The graveyard where they made my bed
B E
Plants a white flower under cold stars
G#m F# B
On the grave of the forgotten dead

[Bridge]
B Em
The sun goes down and the last folk leave
B Em
It's London Town on Christmas Eve
B Em
My lover still wanders bereft and bereaved
B Em
For he can't find the woman that he promised he'd meet
B Em
The sun comes up on the cold, cold ground
B Em
It's Christmas morning in London Town
B Em
He lays on my grave and he cradles his head
B Em
And as he hears the church bells, he knows that I'm dead
[Verse 3]
B F# G#m
So London, don't mourn for your lovers
E B F#
Raise a glass for us glorious dead
B F# G#m
For beneath Southwark streets, we outlasted the priests
E F# G#m/B
And the city's raised up on our beds
E F# B
Though we're gone, London, do not forget
[Verse 4]
B E
To meet us on Christmas
B F#
In the graveyard where they made our bed
B E
Plant a white flower for the outcasts
G#m F# E
On the graves of the forgotten dead
B E
Oh to meet us on Christmas
B F#
In the graveyard where they made our bed
B E
Plant a white flower for the outcasts
G#m F# E
On the graves of the forgotten dead
[Outro]
G#m F# B
