Liner Notes

#horror #stephenking #filk

Another Stephen King filk, this time from the novel Christine. In this song, Arnie is telling Christine how much he loves her, not realizing that LeBay's ghost is slowly but surely taking him over (possession) as the song moves along.

I tried to indicate the possession with some chord changes and vocal quality differences between the two characters, and I'd like to know how it sounds to folks. Also, huge kudos to the OC Songwriters' meetup tonight, who gave me valuable feedback on the chorus' chord changes!

Lyrics

(Capo 4 or 5)

V1
Am
Nobody understands but you
G
Nobody else, my love
Am
You are the one I will go to
E
Nobody understands but you
F Am
Nobody knows me like you do
F G Am
Nobody else, my love

V2
When I am with you, everything
Falls into place for me
When we’re together, I can sing
When I am with you, everything
Makes the world a grander thing
It falls into place for me

Chorus
C
Behind your wheel I am the king
G
Behind your wheel is everything
F C
Those shitters will not see a thing
F G
Because they have it coming
C
I’m always yours, forever true
G
Please take me along with you
F C
To watch them pay for what they do
F G Am
Because they have it coming

V3
Am
Being with you is healing me
Em
I’m Pizzaface no more
Am
You know the inner soul of me
Em
Being with you is healing me
F Am
Being with you, I am free
F G Am
I’m Pizzaface no more

Chorus

Bridge
F C
Dennis and Leigh, they just don’t see
F C
How you’re the perfect one for me
F C
They think you’re old and broken down
Am E
Let’s motorvate out of this town

V4
So what if LeBay is waiting too
The shitters will pay for all
You know me, and he knows you
So what if I am waiting too
We’ll make it right, the two of you
The shitters will pay for all

Chorus
C
Behind her wheel I was the king
G
Behind her wheel is everything
F C
Those shitters will not see a thing
F G
Because they have it coming
C
He’s always yours, forever true
G
Please take him along with you
F C
To watch them pay for what they do
F G Am
Because they have it coming

Outtro
The shitters have it coming
And we want them to see us coming
