Harley Poe – Lewis Was An Odd Boy (Guitar)

Dm               A
[tab]Dm                    A
Who had no friends at all

Dm                        A
He was sickly skinned and tattered clothed

       Dm            A
And he wasn't very tall

 Dm                  A
He walked to school alone

  Dm                     A
With his lunchbox in his hand

Dm             A              Dm         A
Dreading the ridicule he'd be forced to withstand

Dm                        A
The boys at school would tease him

      Dm            A
But the most unruly bunch

      Dm                    A
Would pinch him, poke him, call him names

     Dm             A
And even steal his lunch

            Dm                  A
They would treat him with disdain

     Dm                 A
Themselves uncouth and crass

        Dm              A                  Dm           A
But was Lewis all that different from the other kids in class?

       Dm                A
While walking home from school Lewis

Dm          A
 Noticed a girl

     Dm             A                Dm           A
With white skin and pink hair like a cotton candy whirl

   Dm             A
Intrigued by her style

     Dm                A
And enthralled of her pulchritude

Dm              A                 Dm            A
Lewis tried to speak with her but she was quite rude

Bb F A Dm Bb F A 
Ooooooooooooooooo...

Bb F A Dm Bb F A
ooooooooooooooooo...

Dm               A
Disturbed by his presence

    Dm           A
The girl walked away

    Dm                A            Dm                A
But Lewis stepped behind her while entreating her to stay

    Dm            A
Her hair soft and fluffy

        Dm              A
Smelled good enough to eat

   Dm              A                Dm           A
So Lewis plucked a mouthful and it tasted rather sweet

           Dm             A
She'd been waiting for a friend

    Dm           A
To take her on a date

   Dm          A              Dm           A
Imagine his surprise when he arrived a bit late

Dm                  A
 Cowering and sobbing

         Dm             A
The poor girl was in shock

      Dm             A               Dm
While Lewis devoured most of her hair

         A
Lock by lock

    Dm               A         Dm           A
Now, what happened next is too violent to tell

Dm                A          Dm            A
Let's just say Lewis had an accident and fell

        Dm         A 
He was left there swollen

      Dm               A
And bleeding on the mound

     Dm          A              Dm              A
The lesson was taught had been fierce and profound

        Bb                F
But the couple's fate was worse

        A               Dm
As the two were walking home

  Bb          F                    A
A giant furry beast that throughout the night did roam

Bb              F                A
Ate each child, someone's son and

               Dm
And someone's daughter

    Bb               F               A
It chewed them both whole and left no

BbM7        F            A              Dm
Lewis is an odd boy, who has no friends at all

       Bb               F          A
But he owns a ferocious beast that's scary and tall

    Bb                F             A           Dm
His pet is trained to eat those who aren't very nice

     Bb               F        A
So before you pick on Lewis be sure and think twice
