Live at Landlocked
Chorded by Wiggy
Capo 4
Standard Tuning
Intro: Bm F#m Em x4
Bm F#m Em
Illinois, I could 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 F#m Em
Illinois, I am your 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 Em G
Forget me not
Forget me not - best wishes
Forget me not
Forget me not - best wishes
Bm F#m Em
Illinois, I could 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 Em G
Forget me not
Forget me not - best wishes
Forget me not
Forget me not
