What have I done?
Bbm     Ebm
What have I done?
Bbm     Bbdim    Adim
Find a deep cave to hide in.
Bbm C#m   F#      Adim
In a million years they'll find me,
Gm    D+
only dust
Ebdim7 D
and a plaque
N.C.         Dsus D7 Gm
That reads "Here Lies Poor Old Jack."

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

F#7  Bm    G        Em   F#7
Well, what the heck, I went and did my best.
    G#m               D#
And, by God, I really tasted something swell. (That's right!)
     C#m   F#m6     Gdim7    Ab
And for a moment, why, I even touched the sky.
Bbm            F7       Bbm
And at least I left some stories they can tell, I did!

       F7     F#      Abm   Gdim7
And, for the first time since I don't remember when,
     Bbm     Cdim7  Bbm  F7
I'd felt just like my old bony self again.
  Gdim7  Bbm N.C.       Gm6
And I,   Jack, the Pumpkin King!
N.C.
(That's right! I am the Pumpkin King! Ha, ha, ha!)

    Am     B7       F   E
And I just can't wait until next Halloween
      F#m      Fm
'cause I've got some new ideas
      Am         Fm
that will really make them scream.
    Bbm   Gdim7    Bbm      Gm
And, by God I'm really gonna give it all my might!
N.C.    Bbdim7       B    Em     Ebdim7
(Uh-oh!) I hope there's still time to set things right!
Adim7
