C
October eighteen seventy one
F C
That's when this great big fire begun
F C
The Windy City was a ball of flame
G7 C
And O'Leary's cow was the one to blame
The firemen fought for days on end
F C
They could fight the fire but they couldn't fight the wind
F C
The wind fanned the flames and it started again
G7 C
And nobody knew if it ever would end
Am
She kicked up her heels with out a hint
G7
Kicked the lantern over and away she went
Am
The world couldn't help but be amazed
C
How one little cow started such a blaze
The rich and the poor were both alike
F C
Fighting and praying for their life
F C
Then at last the Lord looked down
G7 C
And he sent a little rain to the windy town
Repeat #1 & 3
The after math was a sight to see
F C
The loss of life and property
F C
The people said it was a shame
G7 C
But O'Lear'y's cow still caught the blame
Repeat #3
