Standard tuning w/o capo, 4/4 measure. This is my attempt at tabbing out the acoustic version John played on the toilet. It's not 100% but it should do. Lyrics are from songmeanings.net (they are inaccurate, I know), all rights belong to the pAper chAse of course. chords used: Am x02210 Asus2 x02200 F x3321x (not a bar chord) Fadd11 x3320x C x32010 C7M x32000 G 3x0003 (that's the way he plays it) Em 022000 Fm x3311x (may be a bit tricky, you can play it as a bar chord) "G1" 3xxxxx "A1" x0xxxx intro Am-Asus2-Am F-Fadd11-F C-C7M-C G These chords inbetween (Asus2, Fadd11, C7M) are played by simply releasing the first fret on the B string ("Congleton's" F allows that). This theme is later repeated in the chorus etc. where he played just Am-F-C-G, but you can play it the same way as the intro if your coordination is good enough. C Em On the day Chicago locked its doors for good C Em G1 A1 Our headless chickens pushed and pecked along their Southbound route F Fm To cluck the atrocity, their beaks are posturing C Em At and old vampire; the forest fire F G Any day our windy city's gonna blow it out for you Am F C I'll keep a horseshoe on my step, I'll keep a cross around my neck G While draping garlic above our bed Am F C All good luck, amulets and aids will dab your forehead, keep you safe G From the forest fire rage F Fm Our fine crystal will cling, we'll drink to anything C G C If it keeps the highways moving, keeps commuting smooth for you F G C I'm drawing a bloodbath with or without you (replay intro twice) C Em On the day the fire nibbled your neighborhood C Em We guard our brimstone as if it was gravestone G1 A1 F Fm While the blaze was blown loose, our cottage knees shaking C Em The flames were giggling with the embers beaming, its chest its beating F G That little house we made gets gobbled up by flames Am F C I'll mash my foot down on the gas of any black cat that cross my path G Than to risk it and lay it in my lap Am F C We keep our umbrellas down here, we toss the salt behind our ears G The good looks weren't worth the seven years F Fm With tightly coiled springs that snap for anything C G C We're gonna keep a lighter to it, even while it burns for you F G C I'm going to heaven with or without you (repeat intro) Am F C I'll keep a horseshoe on my step, I'll keep a cross around my neck G Draping garlic above our bed Am F C All ladder legs we walk around, no burning flags will touch the ground G The same one that our cracks we found, and I swear to God... Am F C I'll bury a bible in these halls, I'll bury a black cat between the walls G Good luck, Godspeed, God damn you all (repeat intro twice + God damn you all) end with a C
