[Intro]
Fm C Fm Db C5 Caug Fm

[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.

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Instrumental]
Fm C7 Fm Db
Fm C7 Fm Ab
Gm7b5 C7 Em7b5 Dm7b5
Dbmaj7 Caug Fm

[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.
