In The City Of Chicago
By Christie Moore
Tabbed By Me! Joe Pirret
Standard Tuning - Enjoy!
[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.
[Verse 1]
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
Across the stormy sea.
[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.
[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 working on the plane.
Am C
They spread throughout the nation,
D Em
They rode the railroad cars,
Am C
Brought their songs and music,
D Em
To ease their lonely hearts.
[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.
