Lewis was an Odd Boy (Harley Poe song) Chords

_ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ [Dm] Louis was [A] an odd boy [Dm] who had no friends [A] at all.
[Dm] He wore sickly skin, [A] tattered clothes, [Dm] and he [A] wasn't very tall.
[Dm] He walked to school [A] alone [Dm] with his lunchbox in [A] his hand.
_ [Dm] Dreading [A] the ridicule he'd [Dm] be forced to [A] withstand.
[Dm] The boys at [A] school would tease him, [Dm] but the most [A] unruly bunch
[Dm] would pinch him, [A] poke him, call him [Dm] names, and even [A] steal his lunch.
[Dm] They would treat him [A] with disdain, [Dm] themselves [A] uncouth and crass.
[Dm] But was Louis [A] all that different [Dm] from the other [A] kids in class?
[Dm] While walking [A] home from school, [Dm] Louis [A] noticed a girl
[Dm] with white [A] skin and pink [Dm] hair like a cotton [A] candy world.
[Dm] Intrigued [A] by her style [Dm] and enthralled [A] of her pulchritude,
[Dm] Louis [A] tried to speak with [Dm] her, but she [A] was quite rude.

[A] his presence, [Dm] the girl [A] walked away, [Dm] but Louis [A] stepped behind her
while [Dm] entreating [A] her to stay.
[Dm] Her [A] hair, soft and fluffy, [Dm] smelled good [A] enough to eat.
[Dm] So Louis [A] plucked the mouthful, [Dm] and it tasted [A] rather sweet.
[Dm] She'd been waiting for a [A] friend [Dm] to take [A] her on a date.
[Dm] Imagine [A] his surprise when [Dm] he arrived [A] a bit late.
[Dm] _ [A] Cowering and sobbing, [Dm] the poor girl [A] was in shock.
[Dm] While Louis [A] devoured most of her [Dm] hair, lock [A] by lock.
[Dm] Now what [A] happened next?
[Dm] Too violent [A] to tell.
[Dm] Let's just [A] say Louis [Dm] had an accident [A] and fell.
[Dm] He was left [A] there swollen [Dm] and bleeding on [A] the mouth.
[Dm] The lesson he'd [A] been taught had [D] been fierce and [A] profound.
[Bb] But the couple's fate [F] was worse [A] as the two were [Dm] walking home.
[Bb] A giant furry [F] beast that threw [A] out the night did roam.
[Bb] It ate each child, [F]
[A] someone's son, and [Dm] someone's daughter.
[Bb] It [F] chewed them both whole and left [A] no proof of the [Em] slaughter.
[Bb] Louis [F] is an odd boy [A] who has [Dm] no friends at all,
[Bb] but he owns a [F] ferocious beast [A] that's scary and tall.
[Bb] His pet is [F] trained to eat [A] those who aren't [Dm] very nice.
[Bb] So before you [F] pick on Louis, [A] be sure and think twice [Bb] now.
