Verse 1:
[G#]187[Eb]1 was the year

When a [G#]windy city man had

While they passed through

de[G#]molishing [Eb]every[G#]thing
And [G#]pegleg never got
[Eb]blamed for the mess made
[G#]Said he never [C#]broke the [Eb]law
But [G#]all that remained was
the [C#]charred black stains
Proving [G#]every [Eb]things his [G#]fault
(Repeat Refrain)

Of [Eb]all the books
