[Intro]
 
| Dsus2 D | D | G6sus2 | G6sus2 |
 
Let's begin!
 
| D | D | Gsus2 | Gsus2 |
 
[Verse 1]
D      D/F#        Gsus2
 Peter Pumpkinhead  came to town
D           D/F#      G6sus2
 Spreading wisdom and  cash around
D        D/F#         G6sus2
 Fed the starving and  housed the poor
D          D/F#         G6sus2
Showed the Vatican what  gold's for
 
[Chorus]
 
G          Asus4         Bm       A  G
    But he made too many enemies
G      Asus4            Bm                    A  G
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
G          Asus4 A
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
G               Bbdim7 C#dim   D     D/C#  D/B
Who'll pray for Peter  Pumpkin-head?
D/A    G    G/F#  Em  A
    Oh my!
 
 
[Verse 2]
D      D/F#         G6sus2
 Peter Pumpkinhead   pulled them all
D        D/F#         G6sus2
 Emptied churches and  shopping malls
D        D/F#           G6sus2
 When he spoke it would  raise the roof
D      D/F#        G6sus2    Gsus2
 Peter Pumpkinhead  told the truth
 
[Chorus]
 
G          Asus4         Bm       A  G
    But he made too many enemies
G      Asus4            Bm                    A  G
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
G          Asus4 A
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
G               Bbdim7 C#dim   D     D/C#  D/B
Who'll pray for Peter  Pumpkin-head?
D/A    G    G/F#  Em  A
    Oh my!
 
[Verse 3]
D      D/F#              G6sus2
 Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame
D      D/F#           G6sus2
 Governments who would slur his name
D          D/F#         G6sus2
 Plots and sex scandals failed outright
D      D/F#        G6sus2
 Peter merely said any kind of love is alright
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G          Asus4         Bm       A  G
    But he made too many enemies
G      Asus4            Bm                    A  G
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
G          Asus4 A
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
G               Bbdim7 C#dim   D     D/C#  D/B

[Verse 4]
 
D                   G6sus2
 Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
D                   G6sus2
 Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
D        D/F#        G6sus2
 He died grinning on  live TV
D          D/F#             G6sus2
  Hanging there he looked a lot like you
G6sus2
And an awful lot like me!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G          Asus4         Bm       A  G
    But he made too many enemies
G      Asus4            Bm                    A  G
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
G          Asus4 A
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
G               Bbdim7 C#dim   D     D/C#  D/B  D/A
