[Bbm] [F] [Db]
[G] [Db]
[Bbm] [Gb] [Bbm]
[E] [G] [Bb]
There are few [A] who deny at [Ab] what I do I am [G] the best for [Gb] my talents [F] are renowned [Eb] far and wide
[Bb] When [C] it comes to [Dbm] surprises in [C] the [Bb] moonlit [Ebm] night I [C] excel without ever [F] even trying
[C] With [Ebm] the slightest [Bb] little effort [Ebm] of my ghost [Abm]-like charms I [Ebm] have seen grown men give out a [E] shriek
With [Ab] the [Dm] wave of [Ebm] my hand and [Bb] a well-placed [Ebm] moan I have swept the [Bb] very bravest of [Ebm] the feet
[Bb] Yet year [Bm] after year
[E] It's the same [Eb] routine [Bb] and I grow so [C] [D] weary of [Eb] the sound of [F] screams
[Gb] And I, [Ebm] Jack, [Eb] the [D] pumpkin [Cm] king
[B] Have grown so [Bb] tired of [Ebm] the same [Bb] old thing
[Eb] Oh, [C] [Gm] somewhere deep [A] inside of [Em] these bones
[Am] An [Em] emptiness
[Am] began [Em] to grow
[B] There's [Ebm] something [Gm] out [A] there far from [Em] my home
[A] A [Em] longing that I've [B] never [Em]
known
Master [Eb] of pride [G] and a demon of [Db] lie
[C] And I'll scare you [B] right out of [Am] your pants
[Gb] To a guy [E] in Kentucky [Gb] I'm Mr.
[Am] Unlucky
And [Gb] I'm known throughout England [B] and France
[C] [D] And [Am] since [B] I am dead I [C] can take off [D] my head
To [Am] recite Shakespearean [Bb] quotations
[Dm] No [Ab] animal, no [Am] man can [E] scream [Am] like I can
With the fury of [E] my [F] recitation
[E] But who [Fm] here [Bb] would [Ab] ever [A] understand
That [E] the pumpkin [F] king [Abm] [Am] with the skeleton [E] grin
[C] Would tire [Am] of this crowd if [Db] he only [Gbm] understood
[D] He'd give it [Db] all up [Gbm] if he [D] only [Db] could
[Fm]
Oh, [D] there's [A] an empty [Eb] place [Gbm] in my bones
[Bm] That calls [Gbm] out for [Bm] something [D] [Gbm] unknown
The [F] fame [Am] and praise [B] come year [Db] after year
[Bm]
Does [Gb] nothing [Gbm] for [Db] these empty [Gbm]
tears
