A nightmare on my street Chords

[Verse 1]
Now [Em]I have a story
that I'd like to tell
About this guy you all know
him, he had me scared as hell!
He comes to me at night
after I crawl into bed
He's burnt up like a weenie
and his name is Fred!
He wears the same hat and
sweater every single day
And even if it's hot,
outside he wears it anyway!
He's [C]gone when I'm awake but
he shows up when I'm asleep
I can't believe that there's a
nightmare - on [Em]my street!

[Em][Fresh Prince] It was a

[Verse 2]
[Em]
Saturday evening
if I remember it right
And we had [C]just gotten
back off [Em]tour last night
So the gang and I thought
that it would be groovy
If we summoned up the posse
and done rushed the movies
I got Angie, Jeff got Tina
Ready Rock got some girl
I'd never seen in my life
[C]That was all right because
the lady was chill
Then we dipped to the [Em]theater set to ill
We saw Elm Street and man it was def
And everything seemed
all right when we left
But when I got home and
laid down to sleep
That began the nightmare,

[Interlude 2]
but on my street!

[Verse 3]
[Fresh Prince] It was burnin in [Em]my
room like an oven
My bed soaked with sweat,
and man, I was buggin
[C]I checked the clock and it
stopped at 12:30
It had melted it was [Em]so darn hot,
and I was thirsty
I went downstairs to grab
some juice or a coke
Flipped the TV off,
and then I almost choked
When I [C]heard this awful
voice comin from behind
It said, ";You cut off [Em]'Heavy
Metal' and now you must die!";
Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was
Broke outside my drawers and screamed,
";So long, cuz!";
Got [C]halfway up the block I calmed
down and stopped screamin
Then thought, ";Oh, I get it, I
must [Em]be dreamin";
I strolled back home with a grin on my grill
I figured since this is a
dream I might as well get ill
I walked in the house,
the Big Bad Fresh Prince
But Freddy killed all that noise real quick
He grabbed me by my neck and said,
";Here's what we'll do.
We gotta lotta work here,
me and you.
The souls of your friends you
and I will claim.
[D]You've [Em]got the body,
and I've got the brain.";
I said, ";Yo Fred,
I think you've got me all wrong.
I ain't partners with NOBODY
with nails that long!
[C]Look, I'll be honest man,
this team won't work.
The girls won't be on you,
Fred your face is [Em]all burnt!";
I patted him on the shoulder said,
";Thanks for stopping by.";
Then I opened up the door and said,
";Take care guy!";
He got mad, drew back his arm,
and slashed my shirt
I laughed at first, then thought,
";Hold up, that hurt!";
It wasn't a dream, man,
this guy was for real
I said, ";Freddy, uh, pal,
there's been an awful mistake here.";
[C]No further words and then
I darted upstairs
Crashed through my door then
jumped on my [Em]bed
Pulled the covers up over my head
And said, ";Oh please do
somethin with Fred!";
He jumped on my bed,
went through the covers with his claws
Tried to get me, but my alarm went off
And then silence! It was a whole new day
I [Em]thought, ";Huh, I wasn't
scared of him anyway.";
Until I noticed those rips in my sheets
And that was proof that there had been a nightmare,
on [Em]my street
