E5                                
When Mrs. O'Leary's 

A5
cow kicked the lantern

B5             
in Chicago 

E5
Town

E5                                        
They say that started the 

A5
fire that 

B5
burned Chicago down

A5                               
That's the story that 

E5
went around

E5                                   
But here's the real low 

B5
down

E5   
Put the 

B5 
Blame on 

E5 
Mame 

B5 
boys

E5 
Put the 

B5 
Blame on 

E5 
Mame

And so on.....
