Here's a nice Halloween-ish song transcribed especially for Halloween night. The song couldn't come from a freakier band. The Eels are definitley the experts when it comes to delivering cold haunting melodies combined with eerie lyrics. This is one of my favourite tracks off their fabulous album. This one would happily fit into a good horror movie and couldn't come at a better time, with the horror genre going retro! Go ahead, I dare you to play this one alone!
To make the most out of the chords, play all the sections except the Choruses with lots of added bass. Play the Choruses with light sweep picking movements.

Verse 1:
Mama crept onto the milkman's hand
And then she finally gave birth
Years go by, still I don't know
Who shall inherit this Earth?
Pre Chorus 1:
And no-one will know my name
Until it's on the stone
Woah oh-oo-oh
Chorus 1:
(C) This could be your lucky day... In hell
Never know who it might be... At your doorbell
This could be your lucky day... In hell
In hell
Verse 2:
(Same chords and rhythm as Verse 1)
Wakin' up with an ugly face
Winston Churchill in drag
Looking for new maternal embrace
Another tired old gag
Pre Chorus 2:
(Same chords and rhythm as Pre Chorus 1)
Am I just a walking bag
Of chewed up dust and bones?
Woah oh-oo-oh
Chorus 2:
(Same as Chorus 1)
Interlude:
Bridge:
Father Teresa, you can't make me into you
I never wanna be like you
Why can't you see, it's me?
You know it's time to let me go
Chorus 3:
(C) This could be your lucky day... In hell
Never know who it might be... At your doorbell
This could be your lucky day... In hell
In hell, in hell
Outro:
This could be your lucky day... In hell
Never know who it might be... At your doorbell
In hell
This could be your lucky day... In hell
In hell, in hell, in hell
See y'all at the party!
Take it easy... C-ya! =3D)
