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