This is a two part song really, but since I'm after the singing bit I'm
only going to do part two, Love Lies Bleeding.
The fade out from Funeral For A Friend is just two chords repeated...
A   Bbmaj7
The introduction to Love Lies Bleeding goes like this...
A     C     G     F   G
The  Fand the second  Gonly get half a bar each.
[Verse 1]
The Aroses in the window box
Have tilted Eto one side
AEverything about this house
Was born to Bmgrow and die
Oh it Adoesn't seem a year ago to this very BmdayD  
You said I'm Asorry honey
If I don't Echange the pace
I Dcan't face another dayE  F#m  
[Chorus]
And love lies Bmbleeding in my Ehand
Oh it F#mkills me to think of Bmyou with another Eman
I was F#mplaying rock and roll and you were Bmjust a fan
But my C#mguitar couldn't hold you
So I Dsplit the baaaa-a-Dmha-a-nd
       F#m                E            A          C   G(Introduction here)
Love lies bleeding in my hands
[Verse 2]
I Awonder if those changes
Have left a Escar on you
Like C#mall the burning Dhoops of fire
That you and BmI passed throughB7  
You're a Abluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy BmnowD  
Well if the Awind of change comes Edown your way girl
You'll Dmake it back somehowE  F#m  
[Chorus]
And love lies Bmbleeding in my Ehand
Oh it F#mkills me to think of Bmyou with another Eman
I was F#mplaying rock and roll and you were Bmjust a fan
But my C#mguitar couldn't hold you
So I Dsplit the baaaa-a-Dmha-a-nd
       F#m                E            A          C   G(Introduction here)
Love lies bleeding in my hands
(About now Elton does his thing with the piano, and there's a guitar solo
but the chords are the same as for the intro)
[Chorus]
And love lies Bmbleeding in my Ehand
Oh it F#mkills me to think of Bmyou with another Eman
I was F#mplaying rock and roll and you were Bmjust a fan
But my C#mguitar couldn't hold you
