City Of Chicago

Written by Barry Moore

	  		(intro) Em Am Em Am

G            D             Em      G              D                          Bm
    In the city of Chicago          as the evening shadows fall,
C                    D         Em          C             D                Am      Em
    there are people dreaming        of the hills of Donegal.

     Am                    C                     D               Em
    Eighteen  forty-seven was the year it all began
      Am                    C                       D                     Em
    deadly pains of hunger drove a million from the land.
              Am                         C               D                    Em
    They journeyed not for glory, their motive wasn’t greed,
       Am                   C         D                       C
    a voyage of  survival across the stormy sea.

G            D             Em      G              D                          Bm
    In the city of Chicago          as the evening shadows fall,
C                    D         Em          C             D                Am      Em
    there are people dreaming        of the hills of Donegal.

     Am                           C                   D                            Em
    Some of them knew fortune, and some of them knew fame,
     Am                           C                    D                   Em
    more of them knew hardship and died upon the plain.
                 Am                            C                 D                        Em
    They spread throughout the nation, they rode the railroad cars,
       Am                                 C           D                          C
    brought their songs and music to ease their lonely hearts.

G            D             Em      G              D                          Bm
    In the city of Chicago          as the evening shadows fall,
C                    D         Em          C             D                Am      Em
    there are people dreaming        of the hills of Donegal.
