Norah Jones
My Dear Country
53 bpm
[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/FCm/Eb Dm7b5 Caug
Ebaug7/Db
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/EbCm/D Ab/DbAbdim/CCaug
b9
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.
[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.
