Bm                            Bm7+                      Bm7                      A  
There are few who would deny at what I do I am the best
                  G                            F#                 G      A      Bm  
For my talents are renowned far and wide.
                     Bm                      Bm7+                      Bm6            A  
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
     G                                 F#      G         Bm  
I accel without ever even trying.
                        Bm                                      Bm7+                 Bm7                 A  
With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charm
             G                         F#                 G      Am  Bm  
I've seen grown men give out a shriek
                  Bm                      Bm7+            Bm7                      A  
With a wave of my hand and a well placed moan
                  G                      F#                            G      Am         Bm  
I have swept the very bravest off their feet.
          G                         F#                                 G                    F#  
Yet year after year, it's the same old cheer
                G                 F#                            Em                 A7  
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
          Bm    Bm7+         A         G      F#  
And I,    Jack, the Pump-kin King
             G                    F#                            G                 F#  
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
          Bm                    Bm7+  Bm7                                 A  
Oh, somewhere deep      inside of these bones
        G      F#         Em                 F#  
An emptiness began to grow
                     Bm                    Bm7+            Bm7                      A  
There's something out there, far from my home
     G                 F#                              Bm2  
A longing that I've never known
                Bm                    Bm7+                    Bm7              A  
I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light
                        G                                      F#    G    Am      Bm  
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
             Bm            Bm7+                    Bm7         A  
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
                     G                                         F#              G      Bm  
And I'm known throughout England and France
          Bm                      Bm7+              Bm7                      A  
And since I am dead, I can take off my head
        G              F#         G         Am      Bm  
To recite Shakespearean quotations
        Bm                      Bm7+    Bm7                            A  
No animal nor man can scream like I can
                        G                         F#  G    Bm  
With the fury of my recitations
G                 F#                      G                      F#  
But who here would ever understand
                        G                 F#                              Em                 A7  
That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
                Bm      Bm7+         A                                             G         F#  
Would tire of         his crown, if they only understood
             G                            F#                 G         F#  
He'd give it all up if he only could
          Bm                      Bm7+  Bm7                      A  
Oh, there's an empty    place in my bones
             G                      F#              Em         A  
That calls out for something unknown
          Bm                 Bm7+              Bm7                    A  
The fame and praise come year after year
             G                 F#                    F#7      Bm2  
Does nothing for these empty tears
