Christy Moore – The City Of Chicago (Guitar)

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     Em
   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      C
Across the stormy sea.

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        Em
   Of the hills of Donegal.

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.

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.
