🎸 Verse:

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

🎸 Verse:

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

🎸 Chorus:

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

🎸 Verse:

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

🎸 Chorus:

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

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

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