City of Chicago *  - Christy Moore

C         G          Am
   In the city of Chicago,
C         G               Em
   As the evening shadows fall,
F            G      Am
   There are people dreaming,
F         G            Dm     Am
   Of the hills of Donegal.
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Dm               F
Eighteen forty - seven
G                     Am
Was the year it all began,
Dm              F
Deadly pains of hunger,
G                        Am
Drove a million from the land.
Dm                     F
They journeyed not for glory,
G                   Am
Their motive wasn't greed,
Dm          F
A voyage of survival,
G                 Am      F
Across the stormy sea.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C         G          Am
   In the city of Chicago,
C         G               Em
   As the evening shadows fall,
F            G      Am
   There are people dreaming,
F         G            Dm        Am
   Of the hills of Donegal.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dm                F
Some of them knew fortune,
G                 Am
Some of them knew fame,
Dm                F
More of them knew hardship,
G                    Am
And died upon on the plain.
Dm                         F
They spread throughout the nation,
G                      Am
They rode the railroad cars,
Dm                           F
They brought their songs and music,
G                    Am
To ease their lonely hearts.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C         G          Am
   In the city of Chicago,
C         G               Em
   As the evening shadows fall,
F            G      Am
   There are people dreaming,
F         G            Dm
   Of the hills of Donegal.
