City of Chicago

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              D             Em
Eighteen forty-seven, was the year it all began
Am              C               D                Em
Deadly pains of hunger, drove a million from the land
     Am                C            D              Em
They journeyed not for glory, their motive was not greed
  Am           C       D                Em
A voyage of survival, across the stormy sea

Chorus

Some of them knew fortune, some of them knew fame
More of them knew hardship, and died upon the plain
They spread throughout the nation, they rode the railroad cars
Brought their songs and music, to ease their lonely hearts

Chorus
