(It's Hallowe'en and what a fright)

      Am                  Am/G♯
Young boys and ghouls, in ghoulish disguise
     Am                   D°         F°
They cover their skin, conceal their eyes
           Am                      Am/G♯                  
A grave mistake to be out when the ghosts are about
          Am         G
It's Hallowe'en, our time to be afraid

In the rest of the world, they don't observe          embarque
This bash which has become our biggest concern
Latvia, Laos, Chad, Peru
                       Dm
We need their help, or else we're through

They don't know the fear we endure once a year
                  G
All Hallow's Eve, we are afraid

It's October 31st, could it get any worse?
Children on the streets, begging for treats
Drowning in a bucket of apples bobbing
Parents are hiding, our babies are sobbing

The undead have returned, they're freaking us out
Dragging us down, so we shout
Help us, help us, save our souls
We're dying of fear, and they don't even know it

They think we've got it all, what we need is a team
To help us forget, forget Hallowe'en

Am  b  c  D° F°  x 4  w/ goules ricanantes  puis  motif préc.  w/ solo

We're all fed up, we've had enough, enough enough enough enough  x 2

Trick - Caramel apples that will make you sick
Treat - And all those sweets will rot your teeeeth
Ouija board, ouija board - spell this
We don't want you here no more

The writing's on the tombstone, beneath the willow tree
No more razorblades in our kid's candy
Dead dogs and broomsticks, pumpkins in flames
We're ending this night, ending the shame

  Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight?  x N  beaucoup d'exubérance
