[Verse 1]
C# F
Put down my backpack and take off my shoes
D# F
The journey was good but your knees are still bruised
C# F
Oyster pearl eyes and cobwebs for hair
D# C# A#
You're a shadow with nobody there
Gb F7 Fm D#7
And the harvest moon, shimmering, melted in two
D#7 C# A#
And poured silver rain into the stream
Gb F7 Fm D#7
Where i crossed on the bridge made of stars gently smiling
D#7 Fm A#
As the universe loosened its sea-eams
[Chorus]
A#m Gb Fm F7
Oh the bells sing, for the 31st night they ring
Gb
Leading the way
D# Fm A#
Through cobbled street paths everwinding
Gb C#
To the hallows eve masquerade

[Verse 2]
C# F
The lamplights they flicker and twinkle with glee
A#m F
Pink bunting swayed in the sigh of the sea
C# F
You found your way lit by small paper lanterns
D# F C# A#
That fluttered their way back to me
Gb F7 Fm A#m
Through the market place -- buzzing with -- spectres and ghouls
D#7 Fm C# A#
Sipping sweet apple wine making merry
Gb F7 Fm A#m
You remembered my face, gave an empty embrace
D#7 Fm A#
While we lingered away in a drea-eam
[Chorus]
A#m Gb Fm F7
Oh the night grieves, as we dance in the falling leaves
Gb
Spinning away
D# Fm A#
On our little paved roads intertwining
Gb C#
At the hallows eve masquerade

[Bridge]
A#m Gb Fm F7
As the day breaks and I burst into sunshine rays
Gb
F dazzling blaze
D# Fm A#
Don't weep like the sky cause you'll find me
Gb Fm C#
At the hallows eve masquerade
D# Fm Gb
And I'll be the creak in your doo-oor
F C#
To bid you a hallows day.
