Farewell to Ed
           Am
For Ed is dead
              F    
The careless boy
         G 
Laid to rest
           C
A velvet floor
              Am
To place his head
          F  
An empty bag
         G  
A wooden chest
                

      Am           G    
Still beautiful in death
              F       C 
The moisture fogs my breath
            Am       G
Two hundred lowered eyes
           F       C
A hundred mute goodbyes

        Am              C                G
I never thought your threats would come good
          Am            C         G
You never did what you said you would


           C
Your mum and dad
           Am
They look so old
             F
All huddled up
            G 
In an inky cloak

           C
I’m not surprised
           Am
This room is cold
             F
It’s empty too
                G 
It’s stinks of floss

            Am               G    
I sat with dad and drank some beer
            F               C
We hadn’t spoken since last year
      Am           G    
I took his hand, led him upstairs
           F             C
Silently drew his body near

            Am                G    
I couldn’t see, missed you so much 
                F             C
Missed you so large I had to fuck
              Am                      G    
Between your sheets all charred with grief
             F                    C
The pillows tainted with your dreams
       
         Am        C         G
I didn’t want to stop that fate
             Am     C        G
I should’ve said a thousand things
        G
Yeh, but hey

           C
Like we agreed
           Am
I will be brave
             F
I will pour whisky
           G
On your grave

           C
Smoke cigarettes
           Am
Amongst the stones
             F
Sprinkle champagne
             G
Upon your bones

      Am                   G  
If burial restricts your view
               F             C
I’ll bring the city here to you
            Am                G  
I’ll pack the river and the clock
           F           C
Wrap it into a picnic box

             Am
With golden bows
             G
And crystal mugs
             F
My dancing heels
              C
Will feel the mud
               Am              G
We’ll disco boogie until the dawn
                 F              C
I’ll teach the village how to mourn

           C
My living room
           Am
In future times
             F
You’re just a face
           G
Above my fire

           C
I futile sound
           Am
A distant chime
             F
I’ll think of this
            G
And I will cry

              Am       G
Perhaps I’ll drop my toast
                F       C
The sound of shattered glass
            Am       G
Thought I forgot at last
                   F    C
Some things just never pass
         Am
Easy to say
            G
Hard to believe
                 F
There’ll come a day
                C
That I don’t grieve
            Am 
Until the time 
           G
My body leaves
          F
I will regret
                  C
That you don’t breath
