SONG: Jack's Lament ARTIST: Danny Elfman From the musical, The Nightmare Before Christmas
There are A#mfew who'd deF/Any C#/G# Gm9b5 At what I do I am the best For my F#talents are Frenowned far and D#mwide When it Ccomes to suC#dim7prises C/E D#m/A# On a moonlit night I exC7cel without ever even F7trying
With the D#mslightest little A#7effort Of my D#mghost like Fdimcharms I have D#mseen grown men give out a Eshriek With the G#dimwave of my D#mhand And a A#7well placed D#mmoan I have swept the very A#7bravest off their D#mfeet
Yet A#7year after Bmyear It's the Esame rouD#dim7tine And I A#grow so weary D#dim7 A#7/F Of the sound of screams And F#dim7I D#mJACK..THE PUMPKIN KING Have B7grown so A#7tired of the F#dimsame D#dimold A#thing
Oh D#dim7somewhere Gmdeep inA7/Gside of these Embones An Am6emptiEmness beAm6gan to Emgrow D#dim7 Gm/D A/C# Em/B There's something out there far from my home A Am6longing Em6that I've B7never Em6known
Em B/D# G/D C#m9b5 I'm a master of fright and a demon of light
And I'll Cscare you right Bout of your Ampants F# Gdim7 F#/A# Am/E To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky And I'm F#7known throughout England and BFrance
And Amsince I am Bdimdead, I can Am/Ctake off my Ddimhead To reAmcite Shakesperean quoA#tations No Ddim7animal nor Amman can E7SCREAM like I Amcan With the fury of my E7reciAmtations
But E7who Fmhere would A#ever underAdim7stand E7 Am6 E7/B That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin Cdim7 Am F#m/C# Would tire of his crown, If they only C#7undersF#mtood He'd D7give it all C#7up, if he F#monly D C#b9 C#(no5) could....
Fdim7 Am B7/A F#m Oh theres an empty place in my bones
That Bm6calls out F#mfor someBm6thing unF#mknown Fdim7 Am/E B/D# F#m/C# The fame and praise come year after year Does Bm6nothing F#m6for these C#7empty F#mtears....
