Capo 1 


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 
           C                               C   /B  /A   G 
And it's a long way just to make it to the bo- or- der line
