Verse 1:
G# Eb
1871 was the year
G# C# Eb
underneath an October sky
G#
When a windy city man had
C#
set out with a plan to set
G# Eb G#
a fire but nobody knows why
G#
So Pegleg headed out
Eb
back with a match and a
G# C# Eb
bucket of kerosene
G#
Little did he know that the
C#
wind would blow through
G# Eb G#
the streets with anarchy
Refrain:
C# G#
Pegleg didn't have an alibi
C# G#
He didn't have a story to tell
C#
But he bought his one way
G# Eb
ticket straight to hell
Chorus 1:
G#
Cuz he burned the
whole damn city
Eb
yeah Watched it all go down
Fm
Yeah he burned all of
C# Eb
Chicago to the ground
G#
yeah he burned that
beautiful city
Eb
He torched that
beautiful town
Fm
Yeah he burned all of
C# Eb G# C# G#
Chicago to the ground
Verse 2:
G#
The Flames spread
Eb
fast every night
While they passed through
G#
the alleys and the
C# Eb
dead end streets
G#
From suburban doors to
C#
the lakefront shore
G# Eb G#
demolishing everything
G#
And pegleg never got
Eb
blamed for the mess made
G# C# Eb
Said he never broke the law
G#
But all that remained was
C#
the charred black stains
G# Eb G#
Proving every things his fault
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
Eb
Of all the books
C# G# C# G#
printed on his terrain
Eb
None raised the flag
C# G# C# G#
on one mans legacy
Fm
Now everybody
C#
knows the truth
Fm
of the stories
C#
being exposed
Fm
So Pegleg's going
C# Eb
down in infamy
