Thax Douglas 1

[Bm] [F#m] [Em] x4

[Bm]Illin[F#m]ois, I coul[Em]d put you in a poem
Illinois, I could write you in a song
But the ink keeps bleeding through the paper
So now I must move on

[Bm]Illin[F#m]ois, I am y[Em]our favorite stepson
A Santa Claus Sears Tower in your sky
A poem for every band who stood before me
I just needed three more minutes of your time

[A]  [Em]  [G] x2

I want to be a legend in my lifetime
A street sign of my name where I am from
Illinois, I really do love you madly
But you and I both know I don't belong

And I do thank you for the love you've shown me
Take care of my parents and my books
I'll send postcards from the great state of Texas
Forget me not, Thax Douglas

[A]For[Em]get [G]me not
Forget me not - best wishes
Forget me not
Forget me not - best wishes

[Bm]Illin[F#m]ois, I coul[Em]d put you in a poem
Illinois, I could write you in a song
But the ink keeps bleeding through the paper
So now I must move on

[A]For[Em]get [G]me not
Forget me not - best wishes
Forget me not
Forget me not
