        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
