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

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