[Fm] [C]
[Fm] Did you hear the news [E] about [C] Edward?
[Fm] On the back of [Bbm] his head
[C] He had [Fm] another face
[F]
Was [Eb] it [Bbm] a woman's face
Or a [C] young girl?
They said to [Fm] remove this
[Bbm] Would kill him
So poor Edward was [C] doomed
A face [Fm] could laugh [Bbm] and cry
[C] It was [Fm] his devil twin
[F] At night [Bbm] she spoke to him
[Bb] Things were [C] lonely in hell
They were [Fm] impossible [Bbm] to separate
Chained together [C] for life
[G] Finally [Fm] the bell told [Bbm] his doom
[C] He [Fm] took a suite of [F] runes
And hung [Bbm] himself in her
[Db] By the balcony [C] iron
Some still [Fm] believe he [Bbm] was freed from her
But [Fm] I knew her [C] too well
I [Fm] say she drove him [Bbm] to suicide
And took poor Edward [Fm] to [C] hell
