G D Em7
A long, long time ago
Am C Em D
I can still remember those berries in the grocery aisle
G D Em7
And I knew right then at first glance
Am C Em C D
That I could make a pie perchance and maybe it would have a little smile
Em Am Em Am
But the result, it made me shiver As I removed it after dinner
C G Am C D
Bad news on the stove top, My breathing came to a stop
G D Em Am7 D
I can't remember if I cried When I looked into its evil eyes
G D Em
Something touched me deep inside
C D7 G C G
The day I baked that pie
CHORUS
G C G D
So Bye Bye Scary Cthulhu Pie
G C G D
you made my berries look so scary and I just don't know why
G C G D
Your evil crust makes me want to cry
Em A7 Em D7
Scream'n, this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
VERSE
G Am
Did you come here to make me flee,
C Am Em D
And were you sent by the devil to me, Will the Bible tell me so?
G D Em
Did you come here to devour my soul,
Am7 C Em A7 D
and will locusts fly out of your berry holes. I had to back away real slow!
Em D Em D
Well, I know that you’re an evil dessert and I'm not sure I can get away unhurt
C G A7 C D7
I figured what have I got to lose , it was time for me to choose.
G D Em Am C
I was a lonely teenage pastry cook with a soul that heaven had forsook
G D Em
so I knew that it was time to book
C D7 G
The day I baked that pie.
C G
I started screaming
CHORUS
G C G D
So Bye Bye Scary Cthulhu Pie
G C G D
you made my berries look so scary and I just don't know why
G C G D
Your evil crust makes me want to cry
Em A7 Em D7
Scream'n, this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
VERSE
G Am
Now for ten years I've been on my own
C Am Em D
but the pie still haunts me when I'm all alone but that’s not how it should be.
G D Em
When I grabbed my things, and I ran away
Am7 C Em A7 D
the pie spoke to me in an ominous way with a voice that came from you and me
Em D Em D
Oh, and while I thought I was safe and sound, the pie's power grew by leaps and bounds.
C G A7 C D7
Humanity was enslaved; No one could be saved.
G D Em Am C
And while all I wanted was a tasty treat, the pie took over the world's elite,
G D Em
And we were forced to make a hasty retreat,
C D7 G
The day I baked that pie.
C G
We were scream'n
CHORUS
G C G D
So Bye Bye Scary Cthulhu Pie
G C G D
you made my berries look so scary and I just don't know why
G C G D
Your evil crust makes me want to cry
Em A7 Em D7
Scream'n, this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

G Am
Helter skelter the hell fires made us swelter.
C Am Em D
The survivors hid in a fallout shelter, But our supplies weren't going to last.
G D Em
It was time to strike, to save our lives.
Am7 C
Before the pie lead to our demise,
Em A7 D
So we came up with a plan really fast.
Em D
Now an evil mist was everywhere
Em D
and Cthulhu's minions reaped death and despair
C G A7 C D7
we only had one chance, we had to make our stance!
G D Em
The pie it tried to make us scream
Am C
so we found a freezer full of vanilla ice cream
G D Em
and we filled a truck to the extreme
C D7 G
The day I baked that pie
C G
We started scream'n
CHORUS
G C G D
So Bye Bye Scary Cthulhu Pie
G C G D
you made my berries look so scary and I just don't know why
G C G D
Your evil crust makes me want to cry
Em A7 Em D7
Scream'n, this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
VERSE
G Am
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
C Am Em D
the Cthulhu Pie had given us chase but there was no time left to run and hide.
G D Em Am7 C
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick! our plan was crazy, and our implementation drastic
Em A7 D
but we lured the pie into an ice cream landslide
Em D Em D
Oh, and as I watched it shout with rage My hands clenched a spoon, ready to engage.
C G A7 C D7
The pie was born in hell but we broke that satan’s spell.
G D Em Am C
and as we devoured its tasty crust and enjoyed the ice cream in a fit of lust
G D Em
I saw Cthulhu laughing with disgust
C D7 G
The day I baked that pie
C G
He started singing
CHORUS
G C G D
So Bye Bye Scary Cthulhu Pie
G C G D
you made my berries look so scary and I just don't know why
G C G D
Your evil crust makes me want to cry
Em A7 Em D7
Scream'n, this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
VERSE
G D Em
Now, 100 years have come and gone
Am C
and the Cthulhu Pie is legend and song
Em D
and that's the way it stayed for a while.
G D Em
Until, a girl went to the grocery store
Am C
Where I had gone years before,
Em C D
and she baked apples in a crust, and gave it a smile.
Em Am
And in the streets: the children screamed,
Em Am
The lovers cried, and the poets blasphemed.
C G Am
the evil had returned;
C D
all of humanity burned.
G D Em Am7 C D7
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
G D Em Am7 D7 G
They caught the last train for the coast the she baked that pie
D7
and they were singing...
CHORUS
G C G D
So Bye Bye Scary Cthulhu Pie
G C G D
you made my berries look so scary and I just don't know why
G C G D
Your evil crust makes me want to cry
Em A7 Em D7
Scream'n, this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
