Bbm F/A
There are few who'd deny
C#/Ab Gm9b5
At what I do I am the best
F# F Ebm
For my talents are renowned far and wide
C C#dim7
When it comes to suprises
C/E Ebm/Bb
On a moonlit night
C7 F7
I excel without ever even trying
Ebm Bb7
With the slightest little effort
Ebm Fdim
Of my ghost like charms
Ebm E
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
Abdim Ebm
With the wave of my hand
Bb7 Ebm
And a well placed moan
Bb7 Ebm
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Bb7 Bm
Yet year after year
E D#dim7
It's the same routine
Bb
And I grow so weary
D#dim7 Bb7/F
Of the sound of screams
F#dim7
And I
Ebm
JACK..THE PUMPKIN KING
B7 Bb7 F#dim
Have grown so tired of the same
Ebdim
old
Bb
thing
D#dim7 Gm A7/G Em
Oh somewhere deep inside of these bones
Am6 Em Am6 Em
An emptiness began to grow
D#dim7 Gm/D A/C# Em/B
There's something out there far from my home
Am6 Em6 B7 Em6
A longing that I've never known
Em B/D# G/D C#m9b5
I'm a master of fright and a demon of light
C B Am
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
F# Gdim7 F#/Bb Am/E
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
F#7 B
And I'm known throughout England and France
Am Bdim Am/C Ddim
And since I am dead, I can take off my head
Am Bb
To recite Shakesperean quotations
Ddim7 Am E7 Am
No animal nor man can SCREAM like I can
E7 Am
With the fury of my recitations
E7 Fm Bb Adim7
But who here would ever understand
E7 Am6 E7/B
That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
Cdim7 Am F#m/C#
Would tire of his crown, If they only
C#7 F#m
understood
D7 C#7 F#m D
He'd give it all up, if he only
C#b9 C#(no5)
could....
Fdim7 Am B7/A F#m
Oh theres an empty place in my bones
Bm6 F#m Bm6 F#m
That calls out for something unknown
Fdim7 Am/E B/D# F#m/C#
The fame and praise come year after year
Bm6 F#m6 C#7 F#m
Does nothing for these empty tears....
