(C) People are starting to say there’s something rotten

(C) That a widow turned a bride and an uncle turned to king

And the (F) son, the heir, was screwed out of (G) everything!

(Dm) For re(C)venge since you (Am) saw your (Em) father’s (C) ghost

On (C) top of Ellsinore in the (Am) middle night when (G) better men just screamed;

You heard him (Am) standing, (Em) demanding,

That you (Dm) turn your (C) snake of an (Am) uncle (Em) to (C) toast
