                                                   (Gonna be a blackout!)
Verse 1:
      E                          D
Gonna nail me a black curtain up good an' tight
      E
Gonna do what my air raid man says is right
      E                       D
Gonna pull down my shades an' turn out my light
              A               B
There's gonna be a blackout tonight
   E                   D
My town is big, and my town is bright
   E
My town can work and my town can fight
         E                          D
So don't strike no light, and don't cause a riot
              A               B
There's gonna be a blackout tonight

Blackout Tonight!

Chorus:
D                   A
Gonna be a Blackout, Blackout tonight
D                   A
Gonna be a Blackout!
      E
Gonna do what my air raid man says is right
B                D
Blackout tonight!
D                                      Eb
Pull down the shades, and turn off the lights

Verse 2:
E                      D
Lights will go out all over town
        E
And the air raid wardenwalks up and down
     E                          D
It's part of the war, I'm gonna do it right
              A               B
There's gonna be a blackout tonight

Blackout Tonight!
