The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

(x = Left-hand-muted percussive note)

This is played four times as an intro (drums come in the second time, and

harmonica and Hammond come in the third time). Although the chords for the

links between the verses are different, I think the riff is played over these

as well. It's kind of hard to tell what the guitar is doing after the intro,

since it disappears in the mix.

(Let's begin)

D Peter PumpkinheadG came to town

D Spreading wisdom andG cash around

D Fed the starving andG housed the poor

D Showed the vaticanG what gold's for

G But he Amade too many Bmenemies

G Of the Apeople who would Bmkeep us on our knees

G Hooray for APeter Pumpkin

G Who'll pray for GmPetA♯er A/C♯PumpkinDheadD/C♯? D/B D/A G G F♯ Em A

Peter Pumpkinhead brought to shame

Governments who would slur his name

Plots and sex scandals failed outright

Peter merely said "Any kind of love is alright"

But he made too many enemies

Of the people who would keep us on our knees

Hooray for Peter Pumpkin

Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?

Peter Pumpkinhead was too good

Had him nailed to a chunk of wood

He died grinning on live TV

Hanging there he looked a lot like you and an awful lot like me

But he made too many enemies

Of the people who would keep us on our knees

Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
