(he's obviously doing a lot of 
guitar noodling, with copious 
hammers and pulls; I leave those to 
you)

-Song basically rides that G shape 
for most of the song, apart from 
that occasional C (and walk down).


G
Come on, Illinois
There's a fire in the city
We're making noise
You're burning bright and pretty
       C                           
It's a long way just to make it to 
    C   /B  /A   G
the bo- or- der line

G
Put your vote in a box
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
A political action committee
Take what you know
Throw it down the goddamn privy
       C                           
It's a long way just to make it to 
    C   /B  /A   G
the bo- or- der line

G
Vivian, you've been a bad girl
You took your mother's lantern and 
you dropped it in the farmhouse
And you burnt down the city
       C
Oh you pretty young girl
         C     /B  /A  G
Well you never had a  chance

G
Built your house on a drawbridge
You thought it would protect you but
 the flames they travel fast here
And they're coming out to get you
       C
Oh you pretty young girl
         C     /B  /A  G
Well you never had a  chance

           C                       
And it's a long way just to make it
        C   /B  /A   G
 to the bo- or- der line
           C                       
And it's a long way just to make it
        C   /B  /A   G
 to the bo- or- der line
