Eels is an American alternative/acoustic indie rock band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as "Mr. E" or simply E. Other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage. Eels were officially founded in 1995 when Jonathan 'Butch' Norton and E met Tommy Walter. The name "Eels" was chosen so that the band's records would be close to E's solo records in an alphabetical ordering. In 1996 the band released their debut album Beautiful Freak.

Notes:
Here's a nice Halloween-ish song transcribed especially for Halloween night. The song couldn't come from a freakier band. The Eels are definitley the experts when it comes to delivering cold haunting melodies combined with eerie lyrics. This is one of my favourite tracks off their fabulous album. This one would happily fit into a good horror movie and couldn't come at a better time, with the horror genre going retro! Go ahead, I dare you to play this one alone!
To make the most out of the chords, play all the sections except the Choruses with lots of added bass. Play the Choruses with light sweep picking movements.
