- Lyrics:
-
- How come when I cut the ace of hearts
You always draw the ace of spades?
How's it when your best friend
Brings you lillies on your birthday?
-
- How come, how come
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me
-
- How come when the local clergy calls
He tells me that you shouldn't wear black?
What kind of bread are you gonna bake
With that hemlock in your spice rack?
-
- How come, how come
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me
-
- The spider's run, the cobweb's gone
Did you eat it when the moon was new?
I drowned your cat, what do you say about that?
I've even broken up your broom
-
- How come, how come
I ain't superstitious, but these things I seen
How come, how come
I ain't a superstitious fella, but it worries me

Hint: When trying to work out the intro lick, do an open D chord by barring
the bottom three strings with your index finger at the second fret and
fretting the B string at the third fret with your middle finger; this will
leave your ring finger free to fret the G string at the fourth fret ; the
lick is based around the notes of the D chord (D,F#, and A) and this
additional note (B) if you maintain the D chord shape the lick should come
together.
