Allister - The Legend Of Pegleg Sullivan: chords

G# D#
1871 was the year
     G#         C#     D#
underneath an October sky
       G#
When a windy city man had
    C#
set out with a plan to set
  G#         D#         G#
a fire but nobody knows why
   G#
So Pegleg headed out
D#
back with a match and a
G#        C#  D#
bucket of kerosene
G#
Little did he know that the
C#
wind would blow through
     G#          D#  G#
the streets with anarchy

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#                 D#
ticket straight to hell

Chorus:
       G#
Cuz he burned the
whole damn city
     D#
yeah Watched it all go down
        Fm
Yeah he burned all of
   C#          D#
Chicago to the ground
        G#
yeah he burned that
beautiful city
   D#
He torched that
beautiful town
        Fm
Yeah he burned all of
   C#   D#     G#    C# G#
Chicago to the ground

The flames spread fast and by nightfall
they passed through the alleys and
the dead-end streets
From suburban doors to the lakefront
shore demolishing everything
And Pegleg never got blamed for the mess
Maintained he never broke the law
But all that remained was the charred
black stains proving everything’s his fault

Pegleg didn't have an alibi
He didn't have a story to tell
With that he bought his one-way
ticket straight to hell

Chorus

   D#
Of all the books
    C#            G#  C# G#
printed on his terrain
     D#
None raised the flag
   C#           G# C# G#
on one mans legacy
Fm
Now everybody
C#
knows the truth
        Fm
of the stories
        C#
being exposed
   Fm
So Pegleg's going
C#          D#
down in infamy

Chorus

Yeah, he burned all of Chicago to the ground
Yeah, he burned all of Chicago to the ground
