The other tab only had the chords but not the order, as the order changes throughout the song. It also has the order of the chords wrong as the main part of the song. These chords can be open, too, but in the recording they are power chords and I have them as such here. Intro: D5 A5 G5 (X2) D5 A5 G5 (X8) I'm tracing pentagrams with chalk onto my floor I'm lighting candles cookin' curses casting spells to bring a storm That will cloud up over bloomington, and make black the midwest sky I'm pushing pins into the map to mark the points for lightning strikes May the ashes of the university make their way out to the sea And may the bones of the invaders mix with the bricks of burned buildings We will make them into to mortar and we will build this town again I'm calling on dark forces to take me back to Bloomington D5 A5 G5 G5 (X2) D5 A5 G5 G5 (X6) We'll dig some holes and plant some seeds and grow trees back in the park So the bums will have some shade to drink and a place to sleep when it gets dark Nick will get his job back when we re-open the Vonlee We'll watch movies and eat popcorn but this time we won't have to sneak We'll make music in our basements we'll play 4-square in the streets We'll carve hexes in our our highways to ward off the wicked beasts
A5AndG5 thA5is G5timA5e wG5e'lA5l kA5eepA5 ouA5r city safe we'll keep our city sweet we'll keep our city free D5 A5 G5 G5 (X8) One by one and block by block we watched it slip away As the towers of our enemies grew taller everyday Until at last I cast away and tried to find some better place But it's wings are wide and cast it's shadow down on everything So i'm praying to the lord and every other god i know To give me a flaming sword and some extra lightning bolts And the power to destroy the ones who took our town away And the strength we need to build it back and make it something great
A5AndG5 thA5is G5timA5e wG5e'lA5l kA5eepA5 ouA5r city safe we'll keep our city sweet we'll keep our city free D5 G5 A5 A5 (X4) And Sam will come back from California And she will know just what we need to do And all the cool kids that I've met in all the places that I've went Will hear the booming of the battle and come too
(D5 and second A5 played quickly) G5 A5 D5 A5 G5 (X2) And we'll make this place into the greatest place there's ever been All we want is a place to live the kind of lives to want to live D5 A5 G5 G5 (X10) So i'm rubbing every lantern that i find And i'm chasing every rainbow that i see I'm searching the clovers trying to find one with four leaves Anything that could grant one wish to me Anything that could grant one wish to me And Portland will not save you And Olympia will fall too And Gainesville will surrender someday And i know Bloomington will never be the same Bloomington will never be the same Outro: D5 A5 G5 G5 (X4)
