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

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#
