Am
Black cats
Scurrying rats
Dm
Flapping bats
And heart attacks
E
Paint your faces green
And act obscene
F E
'cause it’s Halloween
[Verse 2]
Am
Goblins, spooks, and vampires too
Dm
Werewolves come to chew on you
E
The jack-o-lanterns start to grin
F E
So let the tricks and treats begin
[Chorus]
Am Dm
On Halloween
E F E
Halloween
Am Dm
It's Halloween
E F E
Halloween
[Verse 3]
Am
Fires crackle while I hold you tight
Dm
The witches cackle as they fly tonight
E
The devils all come out to play
F E
And frighten children till night is day
Am
Now let's go visit the haunted grave
Dm
Take my hand, we must be brave
E
And afterwards we’ll get our fortunes read
F E
But when the sun comes up we'll both be dead
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Until next Halloween
E F E
Halloween
Am Dm
It's Halloween
E F E
Halloween
[Pt 2 Dormient]
A# Dm
[Verse 4]
Dm A#
The sky is gray. The leaves are falling on the ground
Dm
And old man winter's comin' round
A#
One festive night and then it's gone without a sound
Dm
But death follows me around
A#
I don't know
Dm
if I can take another year
A#
It's so cold
Dm
And I know my faith is dying here
A#
You tease me
Dm
With what I know I’ll never reach
A#
I pray thee
Dm
But I won’t cry I won't beseech
A# Dm
I’m rolling up in my cocoon
A# Dm
I'm changing with the fullness of the moon
A#
Don't take away
Dm
The only love I know
A#
My sacrifice
A7
If I ever want to glow
A#
So I can't win
A7
You’re making me choose
A#
Between my love and my sin
F C
And I thought I was an angel
Dm A#
But I was wrong
F C
I'm with the others
Dm A#
And I've been here all along
F c
Will you punish me because
Dm A#
I'm made in your blood?
F C
Do I fly in the storm
Dm A#
Or do I wallow in the mud?
F C
'Cause I've been lost for years
Dm A#
But I'm not coming back
F C
The guilt suffocates me and
Dm A#
turns my soul black
F C
So don't blame the Devil
Dm A#
For the shit that you've done
F C
You've made this mess
Dm A#
And you're just having fun
F C Dm A#
With those who are able to see
[Pt 3 Revenge]
[Verse 5]
Am Dm
She was a pretty girl a treasure to him.
Am E
She was the purpose of his life.
Am Dm
And when they came they took his flower from him.
Am E Am E
Those wicked men they killed his wife.
Am Dm
It was on Halloween when they found their way in.
Am E
He wasn't home, they were aware.
Am Dm
She prayed for death as they indulged their sin.
Am E Am E
When he returned he found her there.
Am Am
So now's your chance, it may not be right.
E Am
Do you run and tell or do you stay and fight?
Dm Am
Rage fills your mind; you were a man without sin.
E Am
It's two against one; you'll never win.
Dm
But you just can't care.
E
There's blood everywhere.
[Solo]
Am Dm
Am E
[Verse 6]
Am Dm
It was a cold night when you let yourself in.
Am E
They both were armed, you did not care.
Am Dm
And one by one your torment seized each culprit.
Am E Am E
Police found no bodies anywhere.
Dm Am
There was no mercy shown when they broke into your home
E Am
And ravished your lovely wife before taking her life.
Dm Am
There's a beast in all who dwell on this Earth that is our hell.
E Am
Suppress it if you can, but it's inside every man.
Dm Am
Did you feel no remorse when you disciplined with force?
E
Was it justice from above?
Am
Did you punish them with love?
Dm
Or was it cold hard revenge?
Am
Did you earn your way to Hell?
E
Will God forgive your sin?
Am
Well that depends on who you tell.
Dm E
There was blood everywhere, but you just could not care.
