C C7
Gilderoy, Gilderoy,
A7 D7
Don’t touch my wand, it’s not a toy,
G
I fill books with magic I employ,
C A7
I’m sure you’ve heard my name,
D7 G C
The wizard world knows of my fame.
Lockhart, oh my heart,
I can’t remember where to start,
The best teacher of defending art,
C A7
At least that’s what he said.
G7 G C
At least I think that’s what he said.
Gilderoy, Gilderoy
Free books for the living boy,
Sure to bring his young mind joy,
I’ll even sign my name,
Have you got me in the frame?
Gilderoy, Gilderoy,
It’s Cornish Pixies I’ll employ,
To teach witches and wizard boys
The dark arts fighting game,
They’ll never be the same,
Gilderoy, Gilderoy
There’s a monster in the chamber oi,
I guess poor Ginny’s gonna doi,
Cause I’m heading for the train,
Till I erased my own brain,

Dudley Dursley

C A7
Dudley was, a portly boy,
D7 G7
Brought mother and father joy,
E7 Am D7
With every tantrum they’d act coy,
D7 G C
Dudley could do no wrong.
Then one day, a great big man,
Knocked down cabin door, because he can,
Brought a cake for Harry, he’s eleven,
Dudley could smell that cake,
Hagrid caught him at the trough,
Scoffing mouthfuls, never got enough,
He drew his wand a gave a cough,
Dudley felt something change,
Dudley’s fear he wasn’t fakin’
The air smelt suddenly of bacon,
To eat the cake he was mistaken,
Dudley the little swine,
Dudley had a curly tail,
Australia could hear his wail,
His parents turned a shade of pale,
Dudley he had done wrong,
Dudley was, a portly lad,
Ate Harry’s cake which was very bad,
He now lives in a stye, that’s sad,
Dudley he had done wrong,

G
When I first came to Hogwarts,
D
They put the hat upon my head,
C G
And after several mumbles,
G D G
This is what it said,
G
I can see you are a smart one,
D
Mind sharp as a tack,
D7
When it comes to mental faculties,
G
There’s nothing that you lack,
G
I know just the house for you,
C
No need to ponder more,
G
And as it was about to say,
D
Better be Raven…
Now hang on just a minute,
I love animals to,
And when it comes to loyalty,
There’s nothing I won’t do,
I’m chock full of compassion,
And honesty and stuff,
So the hat was just about to say,
Better by Huffle..
But then I’m also brave as lions,
I’m chivalrous and strong,
I love to laugh and joke a lot,
And think Slytherin’s are wrong,
I bet you’ve never had,
A student like me before,
So the hat in its frustration,
Said better by Gryffin..
But I said,
C G
I want to be a HuffGryffinClaw,
D
Yes, a HuffGryffiClaw,
G G7
Though there’s been none before.
Yes, please make me a HuffGryffinClaw,
Because HuffGryffinClaw,
Is the house for me.

Riddikulus

C
When there’s a Boggart in your wardrobe,
G
Use Riddikulus,
When it turns into a Spider
C
Use Riddikulus,
F G
Give it eight pairs of skates,
E7 F
And watch as it gyrates,
G F C
When you use, Riddikulus.
When the Boggart is the moon,
You use Riddikulus,
Cause your wolf form’s coming soon,
Use Riddikulus,
Turn it into a white balloon,
Avoiding Lupin’s Doom,
When you use, Riddikulus,
When there’s a Boggart in your desk,
Use Riddikulus,
And it’s a paper with an ‘F’,
Use Riddikulus,
Just swap Hermione’s name with Ron,
Your troubles will be gone,
When you use Riddikulus
The Boggart feeds on fear,
So use Riddikulus,
Though terrifying it appears,
Use Riddikulus,
You’ll be in a bit of strife,
If it’s a real Kelpie that wants your life,
And you use Riddikulus,
Newt was scared of desks,
He used Riddikulus,
And made a dragon to impress,
With his Riddikulus,
When there are things that make you scared,
With a laugh you’ll be prepared,
When you use Riddikulus,

Pocketses

G7 C
I’ve got something in my pocket,
G
I’m not sure what it is,
Quirrell has got pockets to,
C
But there’s not one of these in his,
C
I know he really wants it,
F
But why I cannot see,
F C
I should have paid attention,
G C
To my friend Hermione.
F C
What has it got in its pocketses,
G
It’s little pocketses,
C
It’s nasty pocketses,
What has Potter got in his pocketses,
We really wants it,
we wants it now.
Hagrid took it out,
Of vault 713,
He probably knew just what it was,
But he didn’t tell me,
It must be quite important,
To warrant seven charms,
Strangely broken by three children,
They need better alarms.
This bit is a spoiler,
Quirrell was two faced,
He was also hosting Voldemort,
In quite an awkward place,
But Harry had a power,
The Voldy couldn’t stand,
And soon it was a face off,
Harry once more saved wizard land,

Mirror of Desire
04:46

C Em C
I want to stand before the mirror of desire,
C Am G
My empty hand holds everything that I require,
Dm G Dm
Nothing that I want beyond my reach,
Dm G Em
Ready for the lessons life will teach,
C Em Gm
In a state of pure contentment I will be,
Dm G C
Transcending all of want and truly free.
But now I see my father and my mom,
And the life cut short by the accursed one,
Every birthday, hug and fond remark,
But I’m sitting here alone all in the dark.
I’m the captain of the house and quidditch team,
With the prettiest prefect, girl of my dreams,
I am popular and famous and renowned,
But when I look into the mirror I see a clown,
I see all of my enemies torn down,
I want to tear them all to pieces, make them drown,
But I’m ashamed of all the hate that’s in my heart,
I want to let go of it all a brand new start.
