• Difficulty: Advanced

♫ Intro:

Em




♫ Verse 1:
  Em
I admit that in the past, I've been a nasty
                                              F
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
           F#m           B
But you'll find that nowadays
     F#m           B
I've mended all my ways
  C                F                 B
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch

True? Yes
      Em
And I fortunately know a little magic
                                    F
It's a talent that I always have possessed
         F#m                  B
And here lately, please don't laugh
  F#m         B           C          F             B
I use it on behalf of the miserable, lonely, and depressed

Pathetic


♫ Chorus:
Em
Poor unfortunate souls
   Em  B    Em  B
In pain, in need
         B
This onе longing to be thinner
                          Em
That one wants to gеt the girl
         F#7
And do I help them?
           B
Yes, indeed
      Em
Those poor unfortunate souls
   Em B    Em   B
So sad, so true
          B
They come flocking to my cauldron
         Em
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
      B
And I help them

Yes, I do


♫ Refrain:
          Am
Now, it's happened once or twice
        D
Someone couldn't pay the price
         B                                  Em
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
          F
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
           F           C      F
But on the whole, I've been a saint
         B                  Em  C Em
To those poor unfortunate souls


♫ Interlude:
Em                                                                      C
  So here's the deal: I'll whip up a little potion to make you human for three days.
   F                 Dm
Got that? Three days.
           C                                      B
Before the sun sets on the third day, you and the princey must share a kiss—
    C                                   C#
And not just any kiss: the kiss of true love.
       G
If you do, you will remain human permanently.
                Cm
But if you don't, you'll turn back into a mermaid—
    C
And you belong to me. We got a deal?
C
 I don't know.
F#
 Life's full of tough choices, in'it?
F#
  No, this is wrong. I can't do this.

Fine then. Forget about the world above. Go back home to daddy and never leave again.


♫ Chorus:
             C                Fm
Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
    Gm   C          Fm
Go ahead! Make your choice
      Gm        C           Fm
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
                   G
It won't cost much
                C
Just your voice
    Fm     C         Fm
You poor unfortunate soul
     Gm C     Fm
It's sad, but true
       Gm              C
If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet
       Fm
You've got to pay the toll
        Gm                  C
Pluck a scale from off your tail
          Fm
A drop of blood inside the bowl!
         Gm               C
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
    Fm
The boss is on a roll!
     C#     C7        Fm
This poor unfortunate soul
