Capo II
[Verse 1]
CAll of the drunks dressed Fmaj7up 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 the Cmatadors, it’s a sweetheart contract
They’re tGaking their Ctime
C Fmaj7 C G C
[Verse 6]
And aAmll the ghost Fmaj7prisoners
Who Caren’t in the ghost prisons, don’t weep at the sound
Of your nGame
They just Cstare at the clouds
Of paFmaj7ssenger Cpigeons, 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 Avenue CChristmas 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"

Capo II

[Verse 1]

C Fmaj7 C

All of the drunks dressed up like Santa Claus

G C

Ring Salvation Army bells, but the town square is quiet

Fmaj7 C

The juke joints are empty, everyone’s buying

What no one can sell

C Fmaj7 C G C

[Verse 2]

Am Fmaj7

And the girl I loved once

Came to me last night

In a dream with a secret to tell

She whispered close

Fmaj7 C

Can’t you hear the ocean? As she leaned her ear

G C

Against a shotgun shell

[Chorus]

Fmaj7

Dark was the night, cold was the ground

C Fmaj7

I could barely make out the song

Of the Ghost Repeaters

Fmaj7 C

Singing Hallelujah

G C

His truth is marching on

C Fmaj7 C G C

[Verse 3]

Willie Mae’s crying

Fmaj7 C

At the toll booth to heaven

G C

With a bottle of gin and a gold-toothed smile

Where the dreams pile up,

Fmaj7 C

All washed out and broken

G C

As thick as the stars on the Miracle Mile

C Fmaj7 C G C

[Verse 4]

Am Fmaj7

But the movie is over

The theater is empty

The credits are starting to roll

And the wages of sin

Fmaj7 C

Don’t adjust for inflation, it’s a buyer’s market

G C

When you sell your soul

[Chorus]

Fmaj7

Dark was the night, cold was the ground

C Fmaj7

I could barely make out the song

Of the Ghost Repeaters

Fmaj7 C

Singing Hallelujah

G C

His truth is marching on

[Verse 5]

The plaza is dark

Fmaj7 C

The picadors are dreaming of blood in the alleys

G C

And rust on the vines they sandbag the bulls

Fmaj7 C

And prop up the matadors, it’s a sweetheart contract

G C

They’re taking their time

C Fmaj7 C G C

[Verse 6]

Am Fmaj7

And all the ghost prisoners

Who aren’t in the ghost prisons, don’t weep at the sound

Of your name

They just stare at the clouds

Fmaj7 C

Of passenger pigeons, winging back home

G C

To the cities of the plain

[Chorus]

Fmaj7

Dark was the night, cold was the ground

C Fmaj7

I could barely make out the song

Of the Ghost Repeaters

Fmaj7 C

Singing Hallelujah

G C

His truth is marching on

[Verse 7]

The star up above

Fmaj7 C

The 5th Avenue Christmas tree is shining tonight

G C

Through the cold and the rain to light all the faces

Fmaj7 C

In the live nativity down on the floor

G C

Of the stock exchange

[Chorus]

Fmaj7

Dark is the night, cold is the ground

C Fmaj7

The armies march out to defend

And the Ghost Repeaters

Fmaj7 C

Of the revelators, are singing "Peace on Earth

G C

And Good Will to all Men"
