Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
City Of Chicago
| G | D | Em |
In | the | City of Chi | cago |
G | D |
As the | evening shadowsBm fall |
C | D | Em |
There are | people | dreaming |
C | D | Am |
Of the | hills of Do | negal |
Chorus
Am | C | D | Em |
Eighteen forty- | seven, was the | year it all be | gan |
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 su | rvival, a | cross 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
