INTRO RIFF (MANDOLIN)

D
How come when I cut the ace of hearts
G D
You always draw the ace of spades?

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 1

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

The spider's run, the cobweb's gone

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

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
