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

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