The Halloween Blues

C#m

[Verse 1]

Some things, they go bump in the night
F#m                      G#
It was getting cold in Ohio
C#m                   F#m
Grade four had just begun
F#m                  G#
I was coloring cartoon bats
      C#m
Silhouetted by the setting sun
          F#m                     G#
Something happened to me
          F#m              G#                          C#m
No, I'll never be free           of the Halloween blues


[Chorus]
E                           D          C#
The leaves are changing color
F#m          Fm      E           D#m            C#
The days are getting shorter and cooler
          F#m
Something happened to me
         G#
No, I'll never be free
          F#m
There's a face in a tree
G#                    C#m
It's the Halloween blues


[Verse 2]
F#m                                    G#
When I was younger, I was Psalty the Singing Songbook
C#m7                      F#m
Masquerading down the street
   F#m                                  G#
My oversized cardboard box was much too much for me to take
           C#m                     F#m
Oh, it was tricky, tricky getting treats
          F#m
Something happened to me
         G#
No, I'll never be free
          F#m
There's a face in a tree
    G#
Ooh wee
                   C#m
It's the Halloween blues


[Chorus]
E              D#       D            C#
The leaves are changing color
                                      F#m
Some things, they go bump in the night
              Fm     E           D#m       C#
The days are getting shorter and cooler
          F#m
Something happened to me
         G#
No, I'll never be free
          F#m
There's a face in a tree
    G#
Ohh wee
          F#m
Something happened to me

No, I'll never be free
          G#
There's a face in a tree
                   F#m
It's the Halloween blues
G#                    C#m
It's the Halloween blues

E                    B      D            C#
     The leaves are changing color
