Intro G|D | |G | |D | |G | ||
let's begin
Verse 1
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
Spreading wisdom and cash around
Fed the starving and housed the poor
Showed the vatican what gold's for
Chorus
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin, who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Interlude (D) A/C# |Bm A |G D/F# |Em A ||
Verse 2
Peter Pumpkinhead brought to shame
Governments who would slur his name
Plots and sex scandals failed outright
Peter merely said "Any kind of love is alright"
Chorus
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin, who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Interlude (D) A/C# |Bm A |G D/F# |Em A ||
Verse 3
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
He died grinning on live TV
Hanging there he looked a lot like you and an awful lot like me
Chorus
But he made too many enemies
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin, who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
Interlude (D) A/C# |Bm A ||
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin?
Hooray for Pe ter Pumpkin head   
Alright, alright I make you want to cry out
