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

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

They journeyed not for glory

Their motive wasn’t greed
Am C
A voyage of survival
D Em
Across the stormy sea

[D]To ease their lonely [Em]hearts
