Poor Jack
Danny Elfman
From "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Chords from official book but slightly simplified. Bbm Bbsus What have I done? Bbm Bbsus What have I done? How could I be so blind? Em Csus Bbsus All is lost. Where was I? Spoiled all spoiled all everything’s gone all wrong. Bbm Bbsus What have I done? What have I done? Bbm Bbdim Adim Find a deep cave to hide in. In a million years they’ll find me only dust Ebdim7 D and a plaque That reads "Here Lies Poor Old Jack." N.C. But I never intended all this madness never. And nobody really understood (well how could they?) that all I ever wanted was to bring them something great. N.C. Why does nothing ever turn out like it should? Well what the heck I went and did my best. And by God I really tasted something swell. (That’s right!) And for a moment why I even touched the sky. And at least I left some stories they can tell I did! And for the first time since I don’t remember when I’d felt just like my old bony self again. And I Jack the Pumpkin King! N.C. (That’s right! I am the Pumpkin King! Ha ha ha!) And I just can’t wait until next Halloween ’cause I’ve got some new ideas that will really make them scream. And by God I’m really gonna give it all my might! (Uh-oh!) I hope there’s still time to set things right! Adim7 (Sandy Claws... Hmm...)
