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
