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]
 
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em
