Halloween Blues The Fratellis
Super easy song, really fun to play too. Consists of 2 chords, E's and A's.
Although you can play E7's and A7's and it sounds good too, play whatever you like more.
Personally I like to play E's and A's for the verses, then play
E7's and A7's for the "let 'em all shiver, let 'em all shake" parts
In case you don't know how to play E A E7 or A7 chords, here ya go:
E|-0-| E|-0-|
B|-0-| B|-2-|
E: G|-1-| A: G|-2-|
D|-2-| D|-2-|
A|-2-| A|-0-|

B|-0-| B|-2-|
E7: G|-1-| A7: G|-0-|
D|-0-| D|-2-|
A|-2-| A|-0-|

Also it's in standard tuning, so EADGBe

Well I'm gonna make you [E]love me
I'm gonna make you [E]wish that you'd never been born
Now you wish you'd never [A]met me
I can be the [E]joker that you couldn't shake off
And I'm gonna make you [E]need me
I'm gonna be the [E]drink that you couldn't put down
I swear it won't be [A]easy
'Cause when you got the [E]Halloween blues, there's never a let down

Well I'm gonna make some [E]money
I'm gonna buy you [E]everything you ever did want
And it's bound to ruin ya, [A]honey
But you shouldn't [E]steal what you never could hoard
And I'm gonna be the [E]fastest
I'm gonna be so [E]quick that you're never quite sure
If you're tough enough to [A]last this
'Cause when you got the [E]Halloween blues, there's a guaranteed cure
[A7]Let 'em all, let 'em all, let 'em all, let 'em all
[E7]Let 'em all shiver and let them all shake
[A7]Get 'em all, get 'em all, get 'em all, get 'em
[E7]Get them hysterical, keep them awake
Well I'm gonna be im[E]perious
I'm gonna be the [E]next Harry Belafonte
You might as well be [A]serious
If you've got the [E]answers, you might as well say
There'll be no one who can [E]thrill me
There's not a soul [E]alive's got a half of my brains
But they'll try their best to [A]kill me
'Cause when you got the [E]Halloween blues, it's best to complain
[A7]Let 'em all, let 'em all, let 'em all, let 'em all
[E7]Let 'em all shiver and let them all shake
[A7]Get 'em all, get 'em all, get 'em all, get 'em
[E7]Get them hysterical, keep them awake
