G         D7sus4
Dusty day dawning

Cadd9       G
Three hours late

G        D7sus4
Open the curtains

    Cadd9        G
And let the rest wait

G            D7sus4
My mind goes running

      Cadd9          G
Three thousand miles east

  G            D7sus4
I may miss the harvest

      Cadd9          G
But I won't miss the feast
[Chorus 1]
       D                               C
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again

And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again

Illinois,     Illinois
[Verse 2]
G         D7sus4
South California

     Cadd9      G
Your sun is too cold

   G               D7sus4
It looks like your hills

          Cadd9          G
Have been raped of their gold

G             D7sus4
I should have come out

     Cadd9       G
When I was first told

G             D7sus4
This lamb has got to

  Cadd9       G
Return to the fold
[Chorus 2]
       D                               C
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again

       D                               C
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again

       D                               C            Gsus4
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again

Illinois,     oh, Illinois

        G  Cm          Gsus4  G
Illinois,     I'm your boy.
[Instrumental Break] G D7sus4 Cadd9 G G D7sus4 Cadd9 G [Verse 3]
G           D7sus4
Flat on the prairies

Cadd9    G
Soil and stone

G             D7sus4
Stretching forever

Cadd9     G
Taking me home

       G          D7sus4
'Cause I've got a woman

    Cadd9        G
Who waits for me there

    G        D7sus4
And I need a breath of that

Cadd9         G
Sweet country air.
[Chorus 3]
       D                               C
And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again

And it looks like you're gonna have to see me again
