The Ballad Of Peter

Riff inicial (Este riff é tocado 
quatro vezes como uma intro. A 
bateria entra na segunda vez e
a harmoia e Hammond veem na terceira
 vez. Apesar de o riff soar como 
algo diferente nas
notas que ligam os versos, acho que 
é por aí mais ou menos que se toca):

D                 G
 Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
D                    G
 Spreading wisdom and cash around
D                    G
 Fed the starving and housed the 
poor
D                  G
 Showed the Vatican what gold's for

G       A             Bm
 But he made too many enemies
G       A                Bm
 Of the people who would keep us on 
our knees
G           A
 Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
G           Gm/Bb A/C#   D   
 Who'll pray for Peter

Continues after the ad
D                  G
 Peter Pumpkinhead pulled them all
D                  G
 Emptied churches and shopping malls
D                      G
 Where he spoke it would raise the 
roof
D                  G
 Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth

G       A             Bm
 But he made too many enemies
G       A                Bm
 Of the people who would keep us on 
our knees

Pumpkinhead

D                  G
 Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame
D                     G
 Governments who would slur his name
D                     G
 Plots and sex scandals failed 
outright
D                   G
 Peter merely said, "Any kind of 
love is all right"

G       A             Bm
 But he made too many enemies
G       A                Bm
 Of the people who would keep us on 
our knees
G           A
 Hooray for Peter Pumpkin

Pumpkinhead

D                  G
 Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
D                  G
 Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
D                   G
 He died grinning on live TV
D                       G
 Hanging there he looked a lot like 
you, and an awful lot like me!

G       A             Bm
 But he made too many enemies
G       A                Bm
 Of the people who would keep us on 
our knees
G           A
 Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
