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