[Verse 1]
D/F# D/G D/A G
You'll recall from the sagas I hope Grettir's last stand at Drangey
A/C# G/B D/F# D/E D/F#
How his grip on the sword made his enemies cut off his hand
D/F# D/G D/A G
If he'd fled here instead and had tasted this terrible coffee
A/C# G/B D/F# D/E D/F#
Or read these letters you sent, he'd surrender and lay the blade down
[Chorus 1]
G A
And it's Halloween
D/F# G5
Skinny ghosts dress like cowboys and rest
A5 Bm9
At the railing by my door
G A D/F# D/E D/F#
On their way from the children's ward
[Verse 2]
D/F# D/G D/A G
Bev Monroe and his Pembina Valley boys play at the party
A/C# G/B D/F# D/E D/F#
And I practice my English on nurses, "Oh, that's a nice name"
D/F# D/G D/A G
And they may ask for mine, but the burns on my back from the x-rays
A/C# G/B D/F# D/E D/F#
Say I shouldn't show anyone anything ever again
[Chorus 2]
G A
In another year
D/F# G5
I'll be buried or shivering here
A5 Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7
Coughing at that grey spittoon
G A D/F# D/E D/F#
Painted orange by the harvest moon
[Interlude]
D/F# D/G D/A G
A/C# G/B D/F# D/E D/F#
[Chorus 3]
G A
Pack up mother's clothes
D/F# G5
Drive her down to the new Betel Home
A5 Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7
Sell the boat to Arnison
D/E G A Bm9 Bm7 Bm9 Bm7
And then go, stand up straight in the place you're longing for
G A D/F# D/E D/F#
And don't write to me anymore

You'll recall from the sagas, I hope, Grettis' last stand at Drangey
how his grip on the sword made his enemies cut off his hand
If he'd fled here instead and had tasted this terrible coffee
or read these letters you sent, he'd surrender and lay the blade down
And it's Halloween,
skinny ghosts dress like cowboys and rest
at the railing by my door
on their way from the Children's Ward
Bev Monroe and his Pembina Valley boys play at the party
and I practice my English on nurses, "Oh, that's a nice name"
And they may ask for mine, but the burns on my back from the x-rays
say I shouldn't show anyone anything ever again
In another year
I'll be buried or shivering here,
coughing at the grey spittoon
painted orange by the harvest moon
Pack up mother's clothes,
drive her down to the new Betel Home,
sell the boat to Arnison
and then go
Stand up straight
in the place you're longing for
and don't write to me anymore
