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

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