from "A Series of Unfortunate Events"
190-200bpm
Played in 3
Standard Tuning, No Capo
These chords are correct to the original recording of this song, which can be found in Episode 8
("The Miserable Mill, Part Two") of the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series on Netflix.
Notes on playing: I have chosen to make the transition chord a B7 rather than a regular B to completely
eliminate the need for barre chords, although the song can be played with a B instead. The entire song can
be played with barre chords, however I have also listed the exact chords I play below.
The following is a link to my cover of the song I posted on YouTube using these chords. I hope you enjoy!

[Intro]
G   B   Em   B7(whistling)
[Verse 1]
You may Gthink that the Baudelaire’s Emought to prevail
And be Gtucked someplace all safe and sEmound
Count CmOlaf captured and Grotting in jail
His B7Hench-people nowhere around
[Chorus]
But there’s Cno happy endings not Dhere and not now
This Gtale is all sorrows and Emwoes
You Cdream that justice and Dpeace win the day
But that’s Emnot how the sDtory goes
[Verse 2]
You might Gthink that two parents both Embrave and both true
Would Glive ‘til a nice ripe old Emage
But CmI’m sad to say I have Gbad news for you
The B7curtain rains down on the stage
[Chorus]
Yes, there’s Cno happy endings not Dhere and not now
This Gtale is all sorrows and Emwoes
You might Cdream that justice and Dpeace win the day
But that’s Emnot how the story Dgoes
[Bridge]
I Donce loved a girl and she F#mthought well of me
We Dthought we’d be happy toF#mgether
But Cnow I’m alone as Gyou can well see
And she’s B7cold in her grave forever
[Chorus]
There’s Cno happy endings not Dhere and not now
This Gtale is all sorrows and Emwoes
You might Cdream that justice and Dpeace win the day
But that’s Emnot how this story Dgoes
[Verse 3]
The Gworld is a pair of Emill-fitting pants
And Gother dire hideous Emclothes
You may Cmthink that three children would Glead pleasant lives
But that’s B7not how the story goes
[Verse 4]
Some Cpeople smile at the Dend of the day
Some Gpeople laugh I supEmpose
But to Cme there’s nothing but Dgloom and despair
That’s Emjust how the story Dgoes
That’s just how the story goes
[Outro] (whistling)
