       Am
On the back of his head
Em
he had another face
Am
Was it a woman's face
           B7
or a young girl?


             Am
They said to remove it would kill him
                   B7
So poor Edward was doomed

                Am
That face could laugh and cry
Em
It was his devil twin
Am
At night she spoke to him
                     B7
Things heard only in hell


          Am
They were impossible to separate
                     B7
Chained together for life


            Am
Finally the bell tolled his doom
Em
He took a suite of rooms
Am
And hung himself and her
                 B7

           Am
Some still believe he was freed from her
                   B7
But I knew her too well
          Am
I say she drove him to suicide
                        B7
And took poor Edward to hell
