Chords for JACK'S LAMENT | Low Bass Singer Cover | The Nightmare Before Christmas | Geoff Castellucci

_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] There are few who deny at what I do I am the best, for [Ebm] my talents are [Bbm] renowned far [Eb] and wide.
When [C] it comes to [Dbm] surprises [C] in the [Ebm] moonlit night, [C] I excel without ever [F] even trying.
[Ebm] In the slightest [F] little effort of my ghost [Ab]-like charms, [Eb] I have seen grown men [E] give out a shriek.
[Bm] With a wave of [Ebm] my hand and [Bb] a well-placed [Ebm] moan, I have swept the very [Fm] bravest off their feet.
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] Yet year [Bm] after year, [E] it's the same [Ebm] routine, [Bb] and I grow so weary [C] of the sound [Bb] of screams.
And I, [Eb] Jack [Ebm] the [Cm] Pumpkin T, [Eb] have grown [F] so tired of the [B] same old [Bb] thing. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, [Ebm] somewhere _ [Gm] deep [Em] inside of these bones, an [Am] _ emptiness _ [Am] began _ to [Em] grow.
[Eb] There's something [E] _ out [A] there far from my [Em] home, [C] a _ [Em] longing there.
_ [B] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm the [Eb] master of fright [Em] and a [B] demon of light, and I'll scare you right out [Am] of your pants.
_ [Gb] Who would die [Bb] in Kentucky?
I'm Mr.
[E] Unlucky, and I'm [Gb] known throughout England [B] and France.
_ [Am] And since [E] I am dead, [Am] I can take off [Bm] my head to [Am] recite _ [Bb] Shakespearean quotations.
[Bm] No animal [Am] nor man [E] can scream [Am] like I can with the fury of my _ resitations.
_ [E] But who [F] here would ever [D] understand that [E] the Pumpkin [Ab] King with a [F] skeleton [Ebm] grin would [A] tire
of [Gbm] his crown if they only understood [Am] he'd give it [F] all up if [D] they only [Db] could? _ _
_ _ _ [F] Oh, there's [Am] an empty [B] place in my [Gbm] bones [Ab] that calls out [Gbm] for [Bm] something _ [Gbm] unknown.
The [F] fame and [Am] praise [B] come year after [Gbm] year does _ [A] nothing [B] for these _
[F] _ [Gbm] emptied. _ _ _ _ _

[C] Jack the Pumpkin T, _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Abm] _ _
[Ebm] _ have _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [E] grown so tired of the same old thing.
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones, an emptiness began to grow.
I'm the master of fright and a demon of light, and I'll scare you right out of your pants.
