Sufjan Stevens - They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhhh!: chords

Chorus:
Am      Dm
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S!
Am                 Em
Ring the bell and call or write us
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S!
Can you call the Captain Clitus?
(Who will save it?)
Logan, Grant, and Ronald Reagan
(Dedicate it?)
In the grave with Xylophagan
(Who will praise it?)
Do you know the ghost community?
(Commemorate it for you?)
Sound the horn, address the city

Am       Dm              Am
We are awakened with the axe
              Em             Am
Night of the Living Dead at last
            Dm               Am
They have begun to shake the dirt
              Em                 Am
Wiping their shoulders from the earth
           Dm               Am
I know, I know the nations past
           Em                Am
I know, I know they rust at last
              Dm               Am
They tremble with the nervous thought
           Em               Am
Of having been, at last, forgot

Chorus:
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S!
Ring the bell and call or write us
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S!
Can you call the Captain Clitus?
(Who will save it?)
B-U-D-A! Caledonia
(Dedicate it?)
S-E-C-O-R! Magnolia
(Who will praise it?)
B-I-R-D-S! And Kankakee
(Commemorate it for you?)
Evansville and Parker City

Speaking their names, they shake the flag
Waking the earth, it lifts and lags
We see a thousand rooms to rest
Helping us taste the bite of death
I know, I know my time is passed
I’m not so young, I’m not so fast
I tremble with the nervous thought
Of having been, at last, forgot

Chorus:
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S!
Ring the bell and call or write us
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S!
Can you call the Captain Clitus?
(Who will save it?)
Comer and Potato Peelers
(Dedicate it?)
G-R-E-E-N Ridge! Reeders
(Who will praise it?)
M-C-V-E-Y! And Horace
(Commemorate it for you?)
E-N-O-S! Start the Chorus

Corn and farms and tombs in Lemmon
(Who will save it?) I know, I know the nations past
Sailor Springs and all things feminine
(Dedicate it?) I know, I know they rust at last
Centerville and Old Metropolis
(Who will praise it?)
They tremble with the nervous thought
Shawneetown, you trade and topple us
(Commemorate it for you?)
Of having been, at last, forgot
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S!
(Who will save it?)
I know, I know the nations past
Hold your tongue and don’t divide us
(Dedicate it?) I know,
I know they rust at last
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S!
(Who will praise it?)
They tremble with the nervous thought
Land of God, you hold and guide us
(Commemorate it for you?)
Of having been, at last, forgot
