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

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