Lyrics
(Bbm)What have I (Bbsus)done?
(Bbm)What have I (Bbsus)done?
(Ab)How could I be so blind?
(Bbsus)All is lost.
(Em)Where was (Fm)I?
(Bbm)(Ab)Spoiled (Fm)all, (Bbm)(Fm)spoiled all, (Gb)(Fm)ev'rything's (Gb)gone all (F)wrong.
(Bbm)What have I (Bbsus)done?
(Bbm)What have I (Ebm)done?
(Adim)Find a deep cave to hide in.
In a million years they'll find me,
(Gm)only dust (Daug)(Ebdim7)and a (D)plaque that reads "Here lies (Dsus)poor (D)old (Gm)Jack!"
But I (Am)never intended all this (E)madness,
never. And (Em)nobody really (Cm)understood (Well,
how could they?)
that (C#m)all I ever wanted was to (G#m)bring them something great.
Why does nothing ever turn out like it (F#7)should?
Well, (Bm)what the (G)heck, I went and (Em)did my (F#7)best.
And, by (G#m)God, I really tasted something (Eb)swell.
For a (F#m6)moment, why, I even (Ab)touched the sky.
And at (Bbm)least I left some (F7)stories they can (Bbm)tell.
I did!
And, for the (Gb)first time since I don't (Gdim7)remember when,
I'd felt (Cdim7)just like my old bony (F7)self again.
And (Gdim7)I, (Bbm)Jack, the Pumpkin King!
(Am)And I just can't (B7)wait until next (F)(E)Halloween 'cause I've (F#m)got some new (Fm)ideas that will (Am)really make them (Fm)scream.
And, by (Gdim7)God, I'm really gonna (Gm)give it all my might!
I (Bbdim7)hope there's still (B)time to (Em)set things (Ebdim7)right!
