[VERSE 1]

D
How come when I cut the ace of hearts
G                          D
You always draw the ace of spades?
D
How's it when your best friend
G                          D
Brings you lillies on your birthday?

[CHORUS]

   A         G
How come, how come
          D
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen
   A         G
How come, how come
             D
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

CHORUS END RIFF

[VERSE 2]

D
How come when the local clergy calls
    G                                D
He tells me that you shouldn't wear black?

What kind of bread are you gonna bake
           G                     D
With that hemlock in your spice rack?

[CHORUS]

    A        G
How come, how come
           D
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen
    A        G
How come, how come
             D
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

[VERSE 3]

D
The spider's run, the cobweb's gone
        G                         D
Did you eat it when the moon was new?

I drowned your cat, what do you say about that?
          G               D
I've even broken up your broom

[CHORUS]

   A          G
How come, how come
           D
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen
   A         G
How come, how come
            D
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me
