                      let's begin
Verse 1
D                 G
 Peter Pumpkinhead came to town

D                    G
 Spreading wisdom and cash around

D                    G
 Fed the starving and housed the poor

D                  G
 Showed the vatican what gold's for
Chorus
G        A            Bm
 But he made too many enemies

G        A                Bm
 Of the people who would keep us on our knees

D                     G
 Governments who would slur his name

D                      G
 Plots and sex scandals failed outright

D                   G 
 Peter merely said "Any kind of love is alright"

 Peter Pumpkinhead was too good

D                   G
 Had him nailed to a chunk of wood

D                   G
 He died grinning on live TV

D                           G
 Hanging there he looked a lot like you and an awful lot like me
