Positive the lyrics are right, other tabs of this song have lyrics that don't make sense




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

             

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




        Em                              D
I never thought your threats would come good
          Em                    D
You never did what you said you would




             G
Your mum and dad
             Em
They look so old
            C
All huddled up
        D
In inky cloth
        G
I’m not surprised
             Em
This room is cold
           C
It’s empty too
               D
It’s stinks of loss




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




           Em                 D
I couldn’t see, missed you so much 
              C             G
Missed you so much I had to fuck
             Em                      D
Between your sheets all childhood clean
            C                 G
The pillows painted with your dreams

         Em               D
I didn’t want to stop and think
                  Em              D
How I should have said a thousand things, yeah but hey




         G
Like we agreed
          Em
I will be brave
            C
I will pour whisky
        D
On your grave
          G
Smoke cigarettes
            Em 
Amongst the stones
             C
Sprinkle champagne
          D
Upon your bones




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




     Em                      G
With golden bows and crystal mugs
           C                   D
My dancing heels will feel the mud
            Em               G
We’ll disco boogie until the dawn
                C              D
I’ll teach this village how to mourn




(Ahhs)
Em D C G (I think?)




          G
My living room
          Em
In future time
              C
You’re just a face
         D
Above my fire
          G
A funeral sound
          Em
A distant chime
              C
I’ll think of this
           D
And I will cry



             
             Em      G
Perhaps I’ll drop my task
             C         D
The sound of shattered glass
             Em     G
Thought I forgot at last
            C          D
Some things just never pass




        Em
Easy to say
        D
Hard to believe
                C
There’ll come a day
             G
That I don’t grieve
          Em
Until the time
        D
My body leaves
       C
I will regret
               G
That you don’t breath
