Intro: Em, B7, Em, C, B7, Gaug, E minorEm


    E minorEm  B7B7      E minorEm     C majorC
'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out,
  E minorEm   B7B7     E minorEm     G+G
And everywhere they'd go, they shout,
   Am/F#  B7B7    D#dimD#dim C#dimC#dim
And though I covered my eyes I knew,
    C majorC GaugGaug B7B7
They'd go away.

   E minorEm     B7B7  E minorEm   C majorC
But fear's the only thing I saw,
   E minorEm    B7B7      E minorEm   G+G
And three days later 'twas clear to all,
   Am/F# B7B7 D#dimD#dim C#dimC#dim C majorC B7B7  E minorEm
That nothing is as scary as election day.


     D MajorD  A minorAm    G+G
But the day after is darker,
   Am/F#   B7B7    E minorEm
And darker and darker it goes,
   Am6Am6  G#7G#7   Gsus4/7M F#(b5)
Who knows, maybe the plans will change,
  Esus9  D6D6    C#4/7(11) C majorC B7B7   (i can hear bass goes like that)
Who knows, maybe he's not   deranged.


   E minorEm    B7B7       E minorEm    C majorC
The news men know what they know, but they,
   E minorEm  B7B7    E minorEm    G+G
Know even less than what they say,
 Am/F#   B7B7   D#dimD#dim C#dimC#dim
And I don't know who I can trust,
     C majorC    B7B7  GaugGaug
For they come what may.

    E minorEm  B7B7      E minorEm  C majorC
'cause we believed in our candidate,
  E minorEm  B7B7      E minorEm   G+G
But even more it's the one we hate,
 Am/F#  B7B7  D#dimD#dim  C#dimC#dim
I needed someone I could shake,
  C majorC B7B7  E minorEm
On election day.


     D MajorD  A minorAm    G+G
But the day after is darker,
   Am/F#   B7B7    E minorEm
And deeper and deeper we go,
   Am6Am6  G#7G#7   Gsus4/7M  F#(b5)
Who knows, maybe it's all  a  dream,
  D6D6 C#4/7(11)   C majorC     B7B7
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.


Chords: Em, B7, Em, C,
    Em, B7, Em, G,

    C, B7, Em.


  E minorEm    B7B7        E minorEm  C majorC
I love the things that you've given me,
  E minorEm  B7B7   E minorEm    G+G
I cherish you my dear country,
  Am/F#   B7B7  D#dimD#dim  C#dimC#dim
But sometimes I don't understand,
   C majorC   B7B7
The way we play.


  E minorEm    B7B7        E minorEm  C majorC
I love the things that you've given me,
  E minorEm   B7B7    E minorEm   G+G
And most of all that I am free,
  Am/F#  B7B7   D#dimD#dim  C#dimC#dim
To have a song that I can sing,
  C majorC  B7B7  E minorEm
On election day.
