~Subject: XTC - The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead

Here it is, long awaited (?) and hopefully accurate.

Some notes:

  (1) I figured this out without having the tape player going, so though the
chord pattern is accurate (pretty much all I-IV-V) I've put this in the key of
G, which may be different from that on the album. The important thing is that
_I_ can sing it in this key. So there.
  Seriously, though, transposing this would not be a big deal.

  (2) There is a surprise A chord (or II chord, made major) in the last
chorus. I really feel like there is another "surprise" chord in the rest of
the choruses, but I can't quite put a finger on it (ha, ha). The way I've
printed it here sounds pretty good, though.
