BbmBbm     Bbsus
What have I done?
BbmBbm     Bbsus
What have I done?
BbmBbm    AbAb
How could I
BbmBbm    AbAb
be so blind?
E minorEm   CsusCsus Bbsus
All is lost.
E minorEm    F minorFm
Where was I?
BbmBbm   F minorFm AbAb
Spoiled all,
BbmBbm   F minorFm
spoiled all,
F#F#  F minorFm
everything's
F#F#     FF
gone all wrong.

BbmBbm     Bbsus
What have I done?
BbmBbm     EbmEbm
What have I done?
BbmBbm     BbdimBbdim    AdimAdim
Find a deep cave to hide in.
BbmBbm C# minorC#m   F#F#      AdimAdim
In a million years they'll find me,
G minorGm    D MajorD+
only dust
Ebdim7Ebdim7 D MajorD
and a plaque
N.C.         DsusDsus D7D7 G minorGm
That reads "Here Lies Poor Old Jack."

N.C.
    A minorAm           E MajorE
But I never intended all this madness, never.
E minorEm            C minorCm
And nobody really understood, (well, how could they?)
   C# minorC#m
that all I ever wanted was to bring them something great.
N.C.
Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?

F#7F#7  B minorBm    G+G        E minorEm   F#7F#7
Well, what the heck, I went and did my best.
    G# minorG#m               D#D#
And, by God, I really tasted something swell. (That's right!)
     C# minorC#m   F#m6F#m6     Gdim7Gdim7    AbAb
And for a moment, why, I even touched the sky.
BbmBbm            F7F7       BbmBbm
And at least I left some stories they can tell, I did!

       F7F7     F#F#      AbmAbm   Gdim7Gdim7
And, for the first time since I don't remember when,
     BbmBbm     Cdim7Cdim7  BbmBbm  F7F7
I'd felt just like my old bony self again.
  Gdim7Gdim7  BbmBbm N.C.       Gm6Gm6
And I,   Jack, the Pumpkin King!
N.C.
(That's right! I am the Pumpkin King! Ha, ha, ha!)

    A minorAm     B7B7       FF   E MajorE
And I just can't wait until next Halloween
      F# minorF#m      F minorFm
'cause I've got some new ideas
      A minorAm         F minorFm
that will really make them scream.
    BbmBbm   Gdim7Gdim7    BbmBbm      G minorGm
And, by God I'm really gonna give it all my might!
N.C.    Bbdim7Bbdim7       BB    E minorEm     Ebdim7Ebdim7
(Uh-oh!) I hope there's still time to set things right!
