                      let's begin
 
Verse 1
D                 G
 Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
D                    G
 Spreading wisdom and cash around
D                    G
 Fed the starving and housed the poor
D                  G
 Showed the vatican what gold's for
 
Chorus
G        A            Bm
 But he made too many enemies
G        A                Bm
 Of the people who would keep us on our knees
G            A            G               Gm/Bb   A/C#   D
 Hooray for Peter Pumpkin, who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?

Verse 2

 Peter Pumpkinhead brought to shame 
D                     G
 Governments who would slur his name
D                      G
 Plots and sex scandals failed outright
D                   G
 Peter merely said "Any kind of love is alright"
 
Chorus
G        A            Bm
 But he made too many enemies
G        A                Bm
 Of the people who would keep us on our knees
G            A            G               Gm/Bb   A/C#   D
 Hooray for Peter Pumpkin, who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?

Verse 3
D                 G
 Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
D                   G
 Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
D                   G
 He died grinning on live TV
D                           G
 Hanging there he looked a lot like you and an awful lot like me

Nearly perfect - thank you!!! I might only add the D/F# in the last two lines of verse 1, and verses 2 and 3. Example: D D/F# G Fed the starving and housed the poor
