A misAtake has been made it's a Dfact they can't hide
Though I'm Bmpartly to blame it can Enot be denied
There ain't Ano use defending, it Dseems I've been Bmtending
The Dwrong grave for Etwenty three Ayears.E  
A Aletter dropped on to my Ddoormat one day
And I Bmthought I'll ignore that - it Emight go away
And I Atook up my shears to the Dplace where for Bmyears
I presDumed my sweet Edarling had Alain.E7  
ACurse those in charge of plots, Dcurse these forget-me-nots
I've been Bmsharing my innermost thoughts with an Edward McECraeE7  
AI'm inconsolable and at Dtimes uncontrollable
Ah but Bmshe wouldn't know 'cos she's two hundred metres awEay.E7  
I'm Anumb from the sting that DI've been tendBming
The Dwrong grave for Etwenty three Ayears,E  
Oh I Awalked up in Autumn, I Dran up in Bmspring
To the Dwrong grave for Etwenty three Ayears,E  
Oh Ading a ling a ling a ling, now Dain't that a Bmthing
The Dwrong grave for Etwenty three Ayears,E  
The Dwrong grave for Etwenty three AyearsE  
The Dwrong grave for Etwenty three Dyears.E
