       Em   B7            Em         C
'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out,
    Em     B7         Em         G
And everywhere they'd go, they shout,
     Am/F#    B7        Eb?  C#?
And though I covered my eyes I knew,
       C  Gaug B7
They'd go away.



     Em         B7    Em     C
But fear's the only thing I saw,
      Em        B7           Em     G
And three days later 'twas clear to all,
      Am/F#  B7  Eb? C#?  C  B7   Em
That nothing is as scary as election day.



         D   Am       G
But the day after is darker,
     Am/F#      B7        Em
And darker and darker it goes,
     Am6    Ab7      G4/7M  F#(b5)
Who knows, maybe the plans will change,
    Esus9   D6        C#4/7(11)  C  B7     (i can hear bass goes like that)
Who knows, maybe he's  not      deranged.



     Em       B7             Em        C
The news men know what they know, but they,
     Em    B7        Em        G
Know even less than what they say,
  Am/F#      B7     Eb?  C#?
And I don't know who I can trust,
          C        B7   Gaug
For they come what may.



       Em    B7           Em    C
'cause we believed in our candidate,
    Em    B7           Em      G
But even more it's the one we hate,
  Am/F#   B7    Eb?    C#?
I needed someone I could shake,
    C  B7   Em
On election day.



         D   Am       G
But the day after is darker,
     Am/F#      B7       Em
And deeper and deeper we go,
     Am6    Ab7      G4/7M   F#(b5)
Who knows, maybe it's all   a   dream ,
    D6  C#4/7(11)      C         B7
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.

   Em        B7                Em   C
I love the things that you've given me,
    Em    B7      Em        G
I cherish you my dear country,
    Am/F#     B7    Eb?   C#?
But sometimes I don't understand,
     C      B7
The way we play.



   Em        B7                Em   C
I love the things that you've given me,
    Em      B7       Em     G
And most of all that I am free,
   Am/F#   B7     Eb?   C#?
To have a song that I can sing,
   C    B7   Em
On election day.
