capo 1

             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
