Chords with lyrics

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: E minorEm

Verse 1:
        E minorEm
Well, there's a lot of trees in the woods
              C7C7
Maybe among them there's a pair of wild wide eyes
     E minorEm
You never cross my path like you should
            C7C7
I must miss you almost every time I go outside



      E minorEm
I hear you sharpen your knife
      C7C7
You keep me up at night
       E minorEm
You watch me turn off my lights
    BB        B7B7
What a fright, what a delight
         E minorEm
On Halloween in July

     C7C7
What a surprise
      E minorEm
Knock on my window
         BB
Did it cross your mind
            B7B7
That I might let you inside
         E minorEm
On Halloween in July?


Instrumental:
E minorEm C7C7 BB B7B7


Verse 2:
  E minorEm
The sheriff is coming, the sheriff is here
       C7C7
He drives his car up and down my street
          E minorEm
The neighbors don't call on authority for much 'round here
C7C7
Certainly not the rustling leaves

    G+G
But she made an exception
      B7B7
'Cause she had a suspicion
   E minorEm             C majorC
That something in the forest was wrong
   G+G
So he checked on up on us
B7B7
Checked on the chickens
      E minorEm            C7C7
He got back in the car and he drove along
        E minorEm
Halloween in July

   E minorEm
It's hit on the highway with my windows down
    C7C7
Blaring music while I floor it and swerve
       E minorEm
And you could get me right then if you wanted an end
    C7C7
But you don't seem to have the nerve
      G+G             B7B7
Maybe it's not about nerve it's about how it gets done
     C majorC               C7C7
I catch a glimpse of you but when I look back you're gone
       E minorEm
You catch my eye
           B7B7
And then you run and hide
  C7C7      E minorEm
On Halloween in July

       E minorEm
And there's a lot of trees in the woods
                C7C7
But I can still feel your eyes on me from way out there
      E minorEm
I face the window to change but then
    C7C7
I face away from you to put up my hair
       G+G
You strain to hear my breath
     B7B7
Over the sound of death
     C majorC          C7C7
Over the bats that live in my walls (Oh
I'm so small)


          C majorC  B7B7
Footsteps down the hall
         E minorEm
Halloween in July
     C7C7
What a delight
    E minorEm
Ask me nicely
         C7C7
Did it cross your mind
           B7B7
That I might let you inside
         E minorEm
On Halloween in July?
