Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 x3321x (not  bar chord)
 G 3x0003 (that's the way he plays it)
 Fm x3311x (may be a bit tricky, you can play it as a bar chord)
 "G1" 3xxxxx
 ""  x0xxxx
These  chords inbetween (Asus2, Fadd11, C7M) are played by simply releasing the first
 fret on the B string ("Congleton's" F allows that). This theme is later repeated in the
 chorus etc. where he played just Am-F-C-G, but you can play it the same way as the intro
 if your coordination is good enough.
On  the day Chicago locked its doors  for good
Our  headless chickens pushed and pecked  along their Southbound  route
To  cluck the atrocity,  their beaks are posturing
 At and old  vampire; the forest  fire
Any  day our windy city's gonna blow  it out for you
I'll  keep a horseshoe on my step,  I'll keep a cross around my neck
 While draping garlic above  our bed
All  good luck, amulets and aids  will dab your forehead, keep you safe
 From the forest fire  rage
Our  fine crystal will cling,  we'll drink to anything
 If it keeps  the highways moving, keeps  commuting smooth for you
I'm  drawing a bloodbath  with or without  you
 (replay intro twice)
On  the day the fire nibbled your neighborhood
We  guard our brimstone as if it was gravestone
 While the blaze  was blown  loose,  our cottage knees shaking
 The flames were giggling with the embers  beaming, its chest  its beating
That  little house we made gets  gobbled up by flames
I'll  mash my foot down on the gas  of any black cat that cross my path
 Than to risk it and lay it in  my lap
We  keep our umbrellas down here,  we toss the salt behind our ears
 The good looks weren't worth the seven  years
With  tightly coiled springs  that snap for anything
 We're gonna keep  a lighter to it, even  while it burns for you
I'm  going to heaven  with or without  you
 (repeat intro)
I'll  keep a horseshoe on my step,  I'll keep a cross around my neck
 Draping garlic above  our bed
All  ladder legs we walk around,  no burning flags will touch the ground
 The same one that our cracks  we found, and I swear to God...
I'll  bury a bible in these halls,  I'll bury a black cat between the walls
 Good luck, Godspeed, God damn  you all
 (repeat intro twice + God damn you all)
 end with
