City of Chicago ** - Christy Moore
[Intro]
Em Am Em Am
[Chorus]
G D Em
In the city of Chi--cago,
G D Bm
As the evening shadows fall,
C D Em
There are people dreaming,
C D Am Em
Of the hills of Don--egal.
[Verse 1]
Am C
Eighteen forty - seven
D Em
Was the year it all be--gan,
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 C
Across the stormy sea.
[Chorus]
G D Em
In the city of Chi--cago,
G D Bm
As the evening shadows fall,
C D Em
There are people dreaming,
C D Am Em
Of the hills of Don--egal.
[Verse 2]
Am C
Some of them knew fortune,
D Em
Some of them knew fame,
Am C
More of them knew hardship,
D Em
And died upon on the plain.
Am C
They spread throughout the nation,
D Em
They rode the railroad cars,
Am C
They brought their songs and music,
D Em
To ease their lonely hearts.
[Chorus]
G D Em
In the city of Chi--cago,
G D Bm
As the evening shadows fall,
C D Em
There are people dreaming,
C D Am Em
Of the hills of Don--egal.
[Outro]
