(x = Left-hand-muted percussive note) 
 
This is played four times as an intro (drums come in the second time, and  
harmonica and Hammond come in the third time). Although the chords for the  
links between the verses are different, I think the riff is played over these  
as well. It's kind of hard to tell what the guitar is doing after the intro,  
since it disappears in the mix.

(Let's begin) 
 
D                 G 
 Peter Pumpkinhead came to town 
D                    G 
 Spreading wisdom and cash around 
D                    G 
 Fed the starving and housed the poor 
D                  G 
 Showed the (?---?) what gold's for 
 

G       A             Bm

Peter Pumpkinhead brought to shame  
Governments who would slur his name 
Lusts and sex scandals failed outright 
"Be a min," he said, heading down (?----?) alright 
 
But he made too many enemies 
Of the people who would keep us on our knees 
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin 
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead 
 
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good 
Had him nailed to a chunk of wood 
He died grinning on live TV 
Hanging there he looked a lot like you and an awful lot like me 
 
But he made too many enemies 
Of the people who would keep us on our knees 
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
