Capo II
[Verse 1]
CAll of the drunks dressedFmaj7 up like CSanta Claus
Ring SGalvation Army bCells, but the town square is quiet
The jFmaj7uke joints are Cempty, everyone’s buying
What nGo one can sell
C Fmaj7 C G C
[Verse 2]
And the gAmirl I Fmaj7loved once
CCame to me last night
In a dream with a secret to Gtell
She whiCspered close
Can’t you Fmaj7hear the oCcean? As she leaned her ear
Against a shoGtgun shellC
[Chorus]
Fmaj7Dark was the night, cold was the ground
I could bCarely make out the Fmaj7song
Of the GhCost Repeaters
Singing Fmaj7HalleluCjah
His truth is Gmarching oCn
C Fmaj7 C G C
[Verse 3]
CWillie Mae’s crying
At the Fmaj7toll booth to Cheaven
With a bottle of gin and a Ggold-toothed Csmile
Where the dreams pile up,
All Fmaj7washed out and Cbroken
As thick as the stars on the GMiracle CMile
C Fmaj7 C G C
[Verse 4]
But the Ammovie is Fmaj7over
The tCheater is empty
The credits are starting to roGll
And the wagCes of sin
Don’t adFmaj7just for inCflation, it’s a buyer’s market
When you sGell your soCul
[Chorus]
Fmaj7Dark was the night, cold was the ground
I could bCarely make out the Fmaj7song
Of the GhCost Repeaters
Singing Fmaj7HalleluCjah
His truth is Gmarching oCn
[Verse 5]
CThe plaza is dark
The pFmaj7icadors are Cdreaming of blood in the alleys
And ruGst on the vinCes they sandbag the bulls
And pFmaj7rop up theC matadors, it’s a sweetheart contract
They’re tGaking theirC time
C Fmaj7 C G C
[Verse 6]
And aAmll the ghostFmaj7 prisoners
WhoC aren’t in the ghost prisons, don’t weep at the sound
Of your nGame
They justC stare at the clouds
Of paFmaj7ssengerC pigeons, winging back home
To the cGities of the Cplain
[Chorus]
Fmaj7Dark was the night, cold was the ground
I could bCarely make out the Fmaj7song
Of the GhCost Repeaters
Singing Fmaj7HalleluCjah
His truth is Gmarching oCn
[Verse 7]
CThe star up above
The 5tFmaj7h AvenueC Christmas tree is shining tonight
Through the Gcold and the Crain to light all the faces
In the lFmaj7ive natCivity down on the floor
Of the sGtock exchanCge
[Chorus]
Fmaj7Dark is the night, cold is the ground
The aCrmies march out to deFmaj7fend
And the CGhost Repeaters
Of the Fmaj7revelatCors, are singing "Peace on Earth
And Good GWill to all CMen"
