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

[D]Some of them knew [Em]fame
[Am]More of them knew[C] hardship
