G D Em In the city if Chicago, G D Bb As the evening shadows fall, C D Em There Are people dreaming, C D Am Of the hills of Donegal. ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/luka_bloom/city_of_chicago_crd.html ) 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 x1 Verse 2: Same cords as 1st verse Some of them knew fortune, Some of them knew fame, More of them knew hardship, And died working on the plane. They spread throughout the nation, They rode the railroad cars, Brought their songs and music, To ease their lonely hearts. Chorus x1 Finish on Am
