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.
