Chords

Transcribed by Johan Jeppsson Tom sings this ridicously low. If you want to transpose it, you could use this table: Em -> Am B7 -> E7 Am -> Dm E -> A
        Em                  B7
Did you hear the news about Edward?

       Em          Am   
On the back of his head 

B7     Em
he had another face

E        Am
Was it a woman's face 

           B7
or a young girl?

             Em              Am
They said to remove it would kill him

                   B7
So poor Edward was doomed

                Em       Am
That face could laugh and cry

B7         Em
It was his devil twin

E            Am
At night she spoke to him

                     B7
Things heard only in hell

          Em            Am
They were impossible to separate

                     B7
Chained together for life

            Em              Am   
Finally the bell tolled his doom

B7        Em
He took a suite of rooms

E        Am
And hung himself and her 

                 B7
from the balcony irons

           Em             Am
Some still believe he was freed from her

                   B7
But I knew her too well

          Em           Am
I say she drove him to suicide

                        B7
And took poor Edward to hell 
(It's nice to disolve the dominant (B7) with the tonic (Em) here at the end)
