Half Man Half Biscuit – Tending The Wrong Grave For 23 Years (Ukulele)

     G                         C
A mistake has been made it's a fact they can't hide

           Am                     D
Though I'm partly to blame it can not be denied

            G                    C               Am
There ain't no use defending, it seems I've been tending

    C               D            G      D
The wrong grave for twenty three years.

  G                       C
A letter dropped on to my doormat one day

      Am                            D
And I thought I'll ignore that - it might go away

      G                        C               Am
And I took up my shears to the place where for years

      C             D           G     D7
I presumed my sweet darling had lain.

G                               C
Curse those in charge of plots, curse these forget-me-nots

          Am                                             D    D7
I've been sharing my innermost thoughts with an Edward McCrae

G                       C
I'm inconsolable and at times uncontrollable

       Am                                                D    D7
Ah but she wouldn't know 'cos she's two hundred metres away.

    G                        C             Am
I'm numb from the sting that I've been tending

    C               D            G      D
The wrong grave for twenty three years,

     G                      C         Am
Oh I walked up in Autumn, I ran up in spring

       C               D            G     D
To the wrong grave for twenty three years,

   G                              C            Am
Oh ding a ling a ling a ling, now ain't that a thing

    C               D            G       D
The wrong grave for twenty three years,

    C               D            G       D
The wrong grave for twenty three years

    C               D            C       D
The wrong grave for twenty three years.
