Verse 1
E Dsus2 Asus2
I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead,
E Dsus2 Asus2
All dressed up for dinner looked so fine.

Your shining silver salver so tastefully powdered
E Dsus2 A
with the finest milit'ry quick lime.

Verse 2
E Dsus2 Asus2
Now try and picture this, as I gave you a kiss
E Dsus2 Asus2
The apple in your mouth slips in mine.

The orchestra played the sweetest serenade,
E Dsus2 A
We laughed as we put away your wine.

So raise your glasses,

How do you sleep, how do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
E Badd4 Aadd9(fill 2)Badd4
How do you feel when you close your eyes and try to drift away?
Emaj7 F#m7alt Emaj7/D# F#m7alt
Does it feel any better now, does it mean any more?
E F#m7alt Amaj7
When the angel of death comes knock, knocking

And banging at your door?

When all the fun was over, I put you on my shoulder

Tastefully hung up on my wall.
