[Verse 1]
EOh hear Mary Jane Kelly
ASo sad and singing sadly
BmA violet plucked from Mother'Es grave
EEx-soldier Thomas Bowyer Afound you in the gutter
BmThe sound of you will be no Emore
4x  E, A--- (  Bm)
[Verse 2]
EWhatever you had said or even dAone
Won't Ejustify the pain you went Bmthrough
We Eall have different destinies in Alife
C#mYour light was taken bBmy the killing Aknife

AShe's been lonely and forgotten Bmever since
But her bEeauty in the night light will rAemain
