          Bm           Bmmaj7     
There are few who would deny at 
    Bm7         A
what I do I am the best
       G           F#       G   
For my talents are renowned far 
A   Bm
and wide.
        Bm         Bmmaj7         
When it comes to surprises in the 
Bm6     A
moonlit night
  G             F#   G    Bm
I accel without ever even trying.
         Bm               Bmmaj7  
With the slightest little effort 
     Bm7       A
of my ghostlike charm
     G          F#       G   
I've seen grown men give out a 
Am Bm
shriek
       Bm         Bmmaj7     Bm7 
With a wave of my hand and a well
        A
 placed moan
       G         F#           G   
I have swept the very bravest off 
Am    Bm
their feet.
    G          F#             G  
Yet year after year, it's the 
      F#
same old cheer
      G       F#           Em    
And I grow so weary of the sound 
   A7
of screams

    Bm  Bmmaj7    A    G   F#
And I,  Jack, the Pump-kin King
     G        F#           G      
Have grown so tired of the same 
 F#
old thing
    Bm        Bmmaj7 Bm7         
Oh, somewhere deep   inside of 
    A
these bones
   G   F#    Em       F#
An emptiness began to grow
        Bm        Bmmaj7     Bm7 
There's something out there, far 
        A
from my home
  G       F#        F#    Bm2
A longing that I've never known
      Bm        Bmmaj7        Bm7
I'm a master of fright, and a 
      A
demon of light
         G               F#  G  
And I'll scare you right out of 
Am   Bm
your pants
     Bm     Bmmaj7        Bm7    
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister 
A
Unlucky
        G                F#      
And I'm known throughout England 
G   Bm
and France
    Bm         Bmmaj7      Bm7   
And since I am dead, I can take 
      A
off my head
   G      F#    G    Am   Bm
To recite Shakespearean quotations
   Bm         Bmmaj7  Bm7        
No animal nor man can scream like
   A
 I can
         G          F# G  Bm
With the fury of my recitations

G       F#         G         F#
But who here would ever understand
         G       F#          
That the Pumpkin King with the 
  Em       A7
skeleton grin
      Bm   Bmmaj7    A           
Would tire of    his crown, if 
   A    G    F#
they only understood
     G           F#       G    F#
He'd give it all up if he only could
    Bm         Bmmaj7 Bm7         
Oh, there's an empty  place in my 
A
bones
     G         F#      Em    A
That calls out for something unknown
    Bm       Bmmaj7      Bm7     
The fame and praise come year 
   A
after year
     G       F#        F#7   Bm2
Does nothing for these empty tears
