[Intro]
C

[Verse]
C                                
Through the winter’s ice and cold,
        F           C
 down Nicollet Avenue,
  F                  C           
a city aflame fought fire and ice, 
                       G
'neath an occupier’s boots.
             C           
King Trump’s private army
                    F      
 from the DHS, guns belted 
          C
to their coats,
        F                C    
came to Minneapolis to enforce 
                      G     C
the law, or so their story goes.

[Verse]
C                               
Against smoke and rubber bullets,
     F                 C
 in the dawn’s early light,
F                  C       
citizens stood for justice, 
their voices ringing through
       G    Gsus4
 the night.
    C                           
And there were bloody footprints 
       F                  C
where mercy should have stood,
    F                      
And two dead left to die on 
 C                 
snow-filled streets, 
                    G    C
Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

[Chorus]
       F          
Oh our Minneapolis,
 I hear your voice, singing
                      C
 through the bloody mist.
      F                 
We’ll take our stand for 
this land, and the stranger 
         C
in our midst.
     F                      
Here in our home they killed
                                C
 and roamed, in the winter of ’26,
         C                 
We’ll remember the names of 
those who died, on the streets
   G         C
 of Minneapolis.

[Verse]
C                            
Trump’s federal thugs beat up
    F                 C
 on his face and his chest,
F                C         
then we heard the gunshots,
 and Alex Pretti lay in
           G
 the snow, dead.
C                                 
Their claim was "self defense, sir,
        F                  C
 just don’t believe your eyes",
         F                        
It’s our blood and bones and these
 C                          
 whistles and phones against 
            G            C
Miller and Noem’s dirty lies

[Chorus]
       F                        
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your 
                                 C
voice, crying through the bloody mist.
         C                       
We’ll remember the names of those 
                           G         C
who died, on the streets of Minneapolis.

F C G C

[Verse]
         C                 
Now they say they’re here to 
uphold the law, but they 
   F              C
trample on our rights.
C       F                C   
If your skin is black or brown 
my friend, you can be questioned 
                  G   Gsus4
or deported on sight.
C                               
In our chants of "ICE out now!",
            F                  C
 our city’s heart and soul persists,
C       F                C     
Through broken glass and bloody
                               G  C
 tears, on the streets of Minneapolis.

[Chorus]
       F           
Oh our Minneapolis, 
I hear your voice singing
                      C
 through the bloody mist.
     F                      
Here in our home they killed 
                                C
and roamed, In the winter of ’26.
      F                           
We’ll take our stand for this land,
                          C
 and the stranger in our midst!
        C                  
We’ll remember the names of
 those who died, on the 
          G         C
streets of Minneapolis,
        C                  
We’ll remember the names of
 those who died on the
            G        C
 streets of Minneapolis!
