Halloween Lyrics And Guitar Chords
The Wolfe Tones. An Irish song about Halloween.
A brilliant song from Brian Warfield, and one that's not very well known, even to Wolfe Tones fans, it's songs like this one that gets overlooked by critics of the 'tones. The begrudgers of The Wolfe Tones ballad group assume that all the band play are rebel songs. Not so, nearly half of their songs are folk songs with no sign of a rebel in sight.
The guitar chords for this one are from Marc Fahrbach who says it's one of the toughest yet he had to put chords to.

Intro: Dm-Am-Bb-C-Dm (2x)
Was on (Dm)Halloween night on the (Am)eve of November
When (Bb)whistles would (C)sweep through the (Dm)trees
The spirits and ghosts must (Am)make their appearance
And (Bb)dance for the (C)withering (Dm)leaves,
For the (Dm)restless poor souls or (Am)those who are evil
Or (Bb)those who have (C)gone from this (Dm)life
And never watch out and (Am)wear your disguises
They'll (Bb)surly be (C)haunting this (Dm)night,
For (Dm)this is the night, the (Am)night of the evil
Be (Bb)worried at (C)loss of the (Dm)light
For the witches, the demons, the (Am)phantoms, the banshees
Will (Bb)surly be (C)haunting this (Dm)night
Chorus
So be(Dm)ware young ladies and (Am)wear your disguises
Be(Bb)ware of the (C)dead of the (Dm)night
Take care of yourselves and (Am)wear your disguises
For (Bb)they will be (C)haunting this (Dm)night
So beware, beware, be(Am)ware young fellas
They're (Bb)coming to (C)get you to(Dm)night
Take care of yourselves and (Am)wear your disguises
For (Bb)this is the (C)Halloween (Dm)night
They're out(Dm)side in the garden, they're (C)behind the bushes
They're (Bb)just 'round the corner by the (Am)rivers and rushes
(Dm)Shadows of evening are (Am)haunting this night,
We'll (Bb)dance in the (C) moonlight to(Dm)night
They're coming to (C)get you to(Dm)night
We'll dance in the (Am)moonlight to(Dm)night
They're in the room watching
They'll (C)come in the shack by the (Bb)old country boreen
The City, the (Am)Town, the Alley the (Gm)Doorway
They're coming all (F)'round you to(Dm)night.
Beware of the (C)loss of the (Dm)light
Repeat Intro 4x
Now the (Dm)witches of evil, (Am)ghosts of the graveyard
Are (Bb)wandering (C)free on the (Dm)stack
The ghosts and the specter, gro(Am)tesque from the grave
Will (Bb)frighten us (C)all on this (Dm)night
So you (Dm)better watch out and (Am)wear you're disguises
They'll (Bb)dance with the demons to(Dm)night
For the spirits, they spook us, the (Am)eerie, the beastly
Are (Bb)wandering (C)free on this (Dm)night
In the (Dm)shadows of evening, by the (Am)light of the moon
By the(Bb) ,,,,,, (C)stars in the (Dm)sky
For this is the night, the (Am)night of the evil
They're (Bb)coming to (C)get you to(Dm)night
