Verse 1
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Db]
'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out,
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Ab]
And everywhere they'd go, they'd shout,
[Gm7b5] [C] [Em7b5] [Dm7b5]
And though I covered my eyes I knew,
[Dbmaj7] [Caug]
They'd go away.
Verse 2
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Db]
But fear's the only thing I saw,
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Ab]
And three days later 'twas clear to all,
[Gm7b5] [C] [Em7b5] [Dm7b5] [Dbmaj7] [Caug] [Fm]
That nothing is as scary as elec - tion day.
Chorus
[Eb/Bb] [Absus4/Eb] [Abmaj7]
But the day after is darker,
[Gm7b5] [C] [Fm]
And darker and darker it goes,
[G/B] [Gdim/Bb] [Fm/Ab] [Cm/G]
Who knows, maybe the plans will change,
[Csus4/F] [Cm/Eb] [Dm7b5] Ebaug7/Db [Caug]
Who knows, maybe he's not de - ranged.
Verse 3
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Db]
The news men know what they know, but they,
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Ab]
Know even less than what they say,
[Gm7b5] [C] [Em7b5] [Dm7b5]
And I don't know who I can trust,
[Dbmaj7] [Caug]
For the come what may.
Verse 4
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Db]
'cause we believed in our candidate,
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Ab]
But even more it's the one we hate,
cv
I needed someone I could shake,
[Dbmaj7] [Caug] [Fm]
On elec - tion day.
Chorus
[Eb/Bb] [Absus4/Eb] [Abmaj7]
But the day after is darker,
[Gm7b5] [C] [Fm]
And deeper and deeper we go,
[G/B] [Gdim/Bb] [Ab] [G7b13]
Who knows, maybe it's all a dream,
[Cm/Eb] [Cm/D] [Ab/Db] [Abdim/C] [Caug] b9
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.

Verse 5
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Db]
I love the things that you've given me,
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Ab]
I cherish you my dear country,
[Gm7b5] [C] [Em7b5] [Dm7b5]
But sometimes I don't under - stand,
[Dbmaj7] [Caug]
The way we play.
Verse 6
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Db]
I love the things that you've given me,
[Fm] [C] [Fm] [Ab]
And most of all that I am free,
[Gm7b5] [C] [Em7b5] [Dm7b5]
To have a song that I can sing,
[Dbmaj7] [Caug] [Fm]
On elec - tion day.
