Halloween Tab

by Ash


From the "Cosmic Debris" bonus disc with Intergalactic Sonic 7"s

I wasn't totally convinced by the couple of tabs I've found for Halloween so I worked 
out. 99% certain that it's right; the chorus might not be perfect, but it sounds good 
One of my favourite ever Ash songs, and it's a B side - crazy eh?

Can be played without a capo (written immediately below) but the Fm to Bm is trickily 
or more easily with a capo on the second fret (written afterwards).

  I moved in that very day
                                     
   
The room was small but I liked it anyway
                                          
   
We watched TV while I dreamed through my mind
                                     
         
And the pregnant girl was busy all the ti-i-ime...


                                  

September and October passed me by
                                

I decided to go home for a while
                                    
   
I got a lift with an old friend of mine
                                        
         
I wanted her still she reminded me on the wa-a-ay...


                                  
So when I got home I went to see Mum and Dad
                 
They asked was I OK
              
Was I happy enough
                            
and I smiled and I said that I was


                                    
 
  A few days later I decided to leave
                                     
   
I couldn't find anyone who would take me
                                     
   
The only thing I could do was take a bus
                                      
         
So at half six I left to get the late expre-e-ess...


                                                
    
I boarded the bus with my clean washing over my back
                                     
   
I sat beside a girl all dressed in black
                                    

We talked and smiled most of the way
                                          
         
Till her jealous boyfriend angrily led her awa-a-ay...


                         
  Then when I reached the house
                     
There was a party on inside
                                              
My friend came to the door took my bags from my hand
                          
And welcomed me in from the night
                                               
   
As I was walking through the happy house that Halloween night
                                     
My friends were all there my heart was glad
                          
And my life felt actually alright
                                     
My friends were all there my heart was glad
                          
And my life felt actually alright
