In the City of Chicago - Christy Moore
Chorus
G D Em
In the city of Chicago
G D Bm
As the evening shadows fall
C D Em
There are people dreaming
C D Am
Of the hills of Donegal
Am C
Eighteen forty seven
D Em
was the year it all began
Am C
Deadly pains of hunger
D Em
Drove a million from the land
Am C
They journeyed not for glory
D Em
Their motive wasn’t greed
Am C
A voyage of survival
D Em
Across the stormy sea
CHORUS
[Am]Some of them knew [C]fortune
[D]Some of them knew [Em]fame
[Am]More of them knew[C] hardship
[D]Died upon the [Em]plain
They[Am] spread throughout the [C] nation
They[D] rode the railroad [Em] cars
[Am]Brought their songs and [C] music
[D]To ease their lonely [Em]hearts
Chorus
G D Em
In the city of Chicago
G D Bm
As the evening shadows fall
C D Em
There are people dreaming
C D Am
Of the hills of Donegal
Outro Slowing down
C D Am
Of the hills of Donegal [Em]
