INTRO RIFF (MANDOLIN)
VERSE 1
[D]How come when I cut the ace of hearts
[G]You always draw the ace of [D]spades?
[D]How's it when your best friend
[G]Brings you lillies on your [D]birthday?
CHORUS
How[A] come, how[G] come
I ain't su[D]perstitious, but these things I seen
How[A] come, how[G] come
I ain't a sup[D]erstitious fella, but it worries me
CHORUS END RIFF 1
VERSE 2
[D]How come when the local clergy calls
He t[G]ells me that you shouldn't wear b[D]lack?
What kind of bread are you gonna bake
With that h[G]emlock in your spice r[D]ack?
CHORUS
How [A]come, how[G] come
I ain't sup[D]erstitious, but these things I seen
How [A]come, how[G] come
I ain't a sup[D]erstitious fella, but it worries me

VERSE 3
[D]The spider's run, the cobweb's gone
Did you [G]eat it when the moon was n[D]ew?
I drowned your cat, what do you say about that?
I've even [G]broken up your b[D]room
CHORUS
How[A] come, how [G]come
I ain't sup[D]erstitious, but these things I seen
How[A] come, how[G] come
I ain't a su[D]perstitious fella, but it worries me
