Farewell to CEd
For Ed is dAmead
The careless bFoy
Laid to rGest
A velvet flCoor
To place his hAmead
An empty bFed
A wooden Gchest
Still Ambeautiful in Gdeath
The moisture fFogs my bCreath
Two hundred Amlowered eGyes
A hundred mFute goodCbyes
I never Amthought your thrCeats would come gGood
You never Amdid what you sCaid you woGuld
Your mum anCd dad
They look sAmo old
All huddled uFp
In inky cloaGks
I’m not surCprised
This room iAms cold
It’s empty toFo
It’s stinks of lGoss
I sat with DAman and drank some Gbeer
We hadn’t spFoken since last Cyear
I took Amhis hand, leGd him upstairs
Silently drFew his body neCar
I couldn’t sAmee, missed you so Gmuch 
Missed you so laFrge I had to fCuck
Between your sAmheets all childhood cleaGn
The pillows pFainted with your dreaCms
I didn’t Amwant to stCop and thiGnk
I should’ve sAmaid a tChousand tGhings
Yeh, but Ghey
Like we agrCeed
I will be bAmrave
I will pour wFhisky
On your graGve
Smoke cigarCettes
Amongst the Amstones
Sprinkle chamFpagne
Upon your bonGes
If burAmial restricts your viGew
I’ll bring the Fcity here to yCou
I’ll pack thAme river and the clGock
Wrap it intFo a picnic bCox
With golden bAmulbs
And crystal mGugs
My dancing heFels
Will feel the Cmud
We’ll disco booAmgie until the daGwn
I’ll teach this vFillage how to mCourn
My living rCoom
In future tAmimes
You’re just a Fface
Above my fiGre
A funeral sCound
A distant cAmhime
I’ll think of Fthis
And I will cGry
Perhaps I’ll dAmrop my taGsk
The sound of shaFttered gClass
Thought I'd Amforgot at Glast
Some things just neFver pCass
Easy to sAmay
Hard to beliGeve
There’ll come a dFay
That I don’t griCeve
Until the tiAmme 
My body leaGves
I will regFret
That you don’t breCath

Chords in this song · guitar

Farewell to Ed

For Ed is dead

The careless boy

Laid to rest

A velvet floor

To place his head

An empty bed

A wooden chest

Am G

Still beautiful in death

F C

The moisture fogs my breath

Am G

Two hundred lowered eyes

F C

A hundred mute goodbyes

Am C G

I never thought your threats would come good

Am C G

You never did what you said you would

Your mum and dad

They look so old

All huddled up

In inky cloaks

I’m not surprised

This room is cold

It’s empty too

It’s stinks of loss

Am G

I sat with Dan and drank some beer

F C

We hadn’t spoken since last year

Am G

I took his hand, led him upstairs

F C

Silently drew his body near

Am G

I couldn’t see, missed you so much

F C

Missed you so large I had to fuck

Am G

Between your sheets all childhood clean

F C

The pillows painted with your dreams

Am C G

I didn’t want to stop and think

Am C G

I should’ve said a thousand things

Yeh, but hey

Like we agreed

I will be brave

I will pour whisky

On your grave

Smoke cigarettes

Amongst the stones

Sprinkle champagne

Upon your bones

Am G

If burial restricts your view

F C

I’ll bring the city here to you

Am G

I’ll pack the river and the clock

F C

Wrap it into a picnic box

With golden bulbs

And crystal mugs

My dancing heels

Will feel the mud

Am G

We’ll disco boogie until the dawn

F C

I’ll teach this village how to mourn

My living room

In future times

You’re just a face

Above my fire

A funeral sound

A distant chime

I’ll think of this

And I will cry

Am G

Perhaps I’ll drop my task

F C

The sound of shattered glass

Am G

Thought I'd forgot at last

F C

Some things just never pass

Easy to say

Hard to believe

There’ll come a day

That I don’t grieve

Until the time

My body leaves

I will regret

That you don’t breath
