Em7G Somebody's walking, oh, somebody's walking C There on the grave of our love Em7GC And somebody's kicking the dust and the ashes away DGAm Why don't they just let it die and fade and grow cold again DGAm Better our footsteps divide and our memory grow old again
Em7BmAmEm7BmAm Oh long dead love, long dead love CD How much dirt must you shovel on what's already dead CD Don't send flowers to remember, send thorns instead CDEm7 And who's that polishing the tombstone over our heads, ohh
Somebody's dancing on our sad misfortune Oh there on the grave of our love And somebody's sweeping the splinters of my broken heart away Why don't they just let it die and fade and grow cold again Better our footsteps divide and our memory grow old again Oh long dead love, long dead love It's been so long it's even hard to find the right place Was it you who paid for Burke and Hare to come in on the case You know grave-robbing is a sin and this is a crying disgrace
Am7Em7 Deep in the night, the cruel intention comes stealing Am7Em7 Deep in the night, I can't close my eyes for that feeling
