A modern Halloween classic I think from A Nightmare Before Christmas: Helena Bonham Carter's version is good, but here's the original: Sally was voiced by Catherine O'Hara who was also in Beetlejuice among others.
Am/C = 2003
Em Am F
I sense there's something in the wind
B7 Em
That feels like tragedy's at hand
D G F
And though I'd like to stand by him
B7 Em
Can't shake this feeling that I have
D7 G F
The worst is just around the bend.
F Em B7
And does he notice
Am/C F
My feelings for him
Em B7 Am/C
And will he see How much he means to me
B7 Em
I think it's not to be.
Em Am F
What will become of my dear friend?
B7 Em
Where will his actions lead us then?
D G F
And though I'd like to join the crowd
B7 Em
In their enthusiastic cloud
D G F
Try as I may it doesn't last
Em B7
And will we ever
Am/C F
End up together
Em B7 Am/C
No, I think not, it's never to become
B7 Em
For I am not the one

Lou Reed 1942-12013: Sweet Jane
D A G Bm A D A G Bm A (Repeat)
Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his coat, and Jane is her vest, and me
I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah!
Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
Y'know, those were different times!
Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
I'll tell you something
Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
Both of them save their monies, ha
And when, when they come home from work
Sittin' down by the fire, oh!
The radio does play
The classical music there, Jim
"The March of the Wooden Soldiers"
All you protest kids
You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah
Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now!
And there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Y'know that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!
And that, life is just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh wouldn't turn around and hate it!
Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!

Halloween: Warewolves of London
Almost Halloween!
Thanks to Gotaukulele for this: http://www.gotaukulele.com/2012/11/werewolves-of-london-warren-zevon.html
[D]I saw a were [C]wolf with a Chinese [G]menu in his hand,
[D] Walking through the [C]streets of Soho in the [G]rain.
[D]He was [C]looking for the place called [G] Lee Ho Fook's,
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein.
[D]Ahh [C]wooooo... [G]Werewolves of London,
[D]Ahh [C]wooooo! [G]
[D]Ahh[C]wooooo... [G]Werewolves of London,
[D]Ahh [C]wooooo! [G]
You hear him howling around your kitchen door,
You better not let him in.
Little old lady got mutilated late last night,
Werewolves of London again.
Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London,
Ahwooooo!
Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London,
Ahwooooo! Huh!
He's the hairy handed gent who ran amok in Kent,
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair.
You better stay away from him, He'll rip your lungs out, Jim,
Huh! I'd like to meet his tailor.
Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London,
Ahwooooo!
Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London,
Ahwooooo!
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen,
Doing the Werewolves of London.
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen,
Doing the Werewolves of London.
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's,
And his hair was perfect.
Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London,
Huh! Draw blood!
Ahhwooooo... Werewolves of London...

Cm D7
Just before I'm counting sheep,
G7 C7
Through my window he comes to peep,
F7 Bb7 B+
And with each other we're sympathizing!
Eb
Looking at the happy sweethearts,
B7
While they sit around and spo-o-o-n,
Bb7
There's two lonesome people in the whole wide world,
C7 F7 Bb7 Eb
Just me and the man and the moon.
Ain't we got fun?
Definitely the song of the jazz age, the roaring 20's and now our 10's and 20's too I think. It's referenced in The Great Gatsby and George Orwell wrote about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ain't_We_Got_Fun%3F
More recently, it was in the Ps3 game Bioshock Infinite. Yes, we talk about songs being used in games now. Mad huh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaKZKy9SJ1o
This is just my version, You cal get all the right chords on Musicnotes for about $1.95 too.

Eb Bb7
Bill collectors gather 'Round and rather
Eb
Haunt the cottage next door
Bb7 Eb D7 Gm
Men the grocer and the butcher sent Men who call for the rent
D7 Gm
But within a happy chappy And his bride of only a year
0101 Bb Gm Cm G7 Cm F7 Bb B+
Seem to be so cheerful Here's an earful Of the chatter you hear
Eb
Every morning, Every evening
Bb7
Ain't we got fun, Not much money, Oh but honey
Eb
Ain't we got fun
G# B7
The rent's unpaid dear
Eb Cm
We haven't a bus
Gm D7
But smiles were made dear
Gm B+
For people like us
Eb
In the Winter in the Summer
Bb7
Don't we have fun, Times are bum and getting bummer
Eb7
Still we have fun
G# G7 Cm
There's nothing surer
Fm D7 2020 Eb Cm6
The rich get rich and the poor get children
Eb
In the meantime, In the between time
Bb7 Eb B+
Ain't we got fun.
Eb Fm Bb7
Just to make their trouble nearly double
Eb
Something happen'd last night
Bb7 Eb D7 Gm
To their chimney a gray bird came, Mister Stork is his name
D7 Gm
And I'll bet two pins, A pair of twins, Just happen'd in with the bird
0101 Bb Gm Cm G7 Cm F7 Bb B+
Still they're very gay and merry, Just at dawning I heard
Eb
Every morning, Every evening
Bb7
Don't we have fun, Twins and cares dear come in pairs dear
Eb
Don't we have fun
G# B7
We've only started
Eb Cm
As mommer and pop
Gm D7
Are we downhearted
Gm Bb7 B+
I'll say that we're not
Eb
Landlords mad and getting madder
Bb7
Ain't we got fun, Times are so bad and getting badder
Eb7
Still we have fun
G# G
There's nothing surer
Fm D7 Eb Cm6
The rich get rich and the poor get laid off
Eb
In the meantime, In between time
Bb7 Eb B+
Ain't we got fun.
Eb Fm Bb7
When the man who sold 'em carpets told 'em
Eb
He would take them away
Bb7 Eb D7 Gm
They said, "Wonderful, here's our chance, Take them up and we'll dance"
D7 Gm
And when burglars came and robbed them, Taking all their silver, they say
0101 Bb Gm Cm G7 Cm F7 Bb B+
Hubby yelled, "We're famous, for they'll name us, In the papers today
Eb
Night or daytime, it's all playtime
Bb7
Ain't we got fun? Hot or cold days, any old days
Eb7
Ain't we got fun
G# B7
If Wifey wishes
Eb Cm
To go to a play
Gm D7
Don't wash the dishes
Gm Bb7 B+
Just throw them away
Eb
Streetcar seats are awful narrow
Bb7
Ain't we got fun? They won't smash up our Pierce Arrow
Eb7
We ain't got none
G# G
They've cut my wages
Fm D7 Eb Cm
But my income tax will be so much smaller
Eb
When I'm laid off, I'll be paid off
Bb7 Eb B+ Cm6
