This is how I play it; all barre chords, each strummed once, save the verse "I'm a
of fright..." in which each chord is strummed twice.
Another tab is on this site for the intro, but I also play that differently, so I'm
that here as well.

There are Bmfew who wouldBmmaj7 deny at what IBm7 do I am theA best
For my Gtalents are F#renowned Gfar Aand Bmwide.
When it Bmcomes to suBmmaj7rprises in the Bm6moonlit Anight
I Gaccel without F#ever Geven Bmtrying.
With the Bmslightest little Bmmaj7effort of my Bm7ghostlike Acharm
I've Gseen grown F#men give Gout Ama sBmhriek
With a Bmwave of my Bmmaj7hand and a Bm7well placed Amoan
I have Gswept the F#very bravest Goff Amtheir Bmfeet.
Yet Gyear after F#year, it's the Gsame old F#cheer
And I Ggrow so F#weary of the Emsound of A7screams
And BmI, Bmmaj7Jack, the APump-Gkin F#King
Have Ggrown so F#tired of the Gsame oldF# thing
Oh, Bmsomewhere Bmmaj7deep Bm7inside of these Abones
An GemptF#iness Embegan to F#grow
There's Bmsomething Bmmaj7out there, Bm7far from my Ahome
A Glonging F#that I've F#never Bm2known
I'm a Bmmaster of Bmmaj7fright, and a Bm7demon of Alight
And I'll Gscare you right F#out Gof Amyour Bmpants
To a Bmguy in Bmmaj7Kentucky, I'm Bm7Mister AUnlucky
And I'm Gknown throughout F#England Gand BmFrance
And Bmsince I am Bmmaj7dead, I can Bm7take off my Ahead
To Grecite F#ShakesGpeareAman quBmotations
No Bmanimal nor Bmmaj7man can Bm7scream like I Acan
With the Gfury of my F#recGitaBmtions
GBut who F#here would Gever underF#stand
That the GPumpkin F#King with the Emskeleton A7grin
Would Bmtire Bmmaj7of his Acrown, if they Aonly GunderF#stood
He'd Ggive it all F#up if he Gonly F#could
Oh, Bmthere's an Bmmaj7empty Bm7place in my Abones
That Gcalls out F#for someEmthing Aunknown
The Bmfame and Bmmaj7praise come Bm7year after Ayear
Does Gnothing F#for these F#7empty Bm2tears
