[Intro 1]
[Am][Asus2][G][Asus2][G][Asus2][G][Asus2][G]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]come
from a [G]land where the winters are [Am]long and [G]cold
Where the [Am]ice crawls over [G]the lake
and [Am]the strong winds [G]blow
Where [Asus2]old men are
[G]tough and tell [Am]tales of [G]old
A sore [Am]back for a hard day's [G]work
used [Am]to feed their [G]souls
[Asus2]Chicago, [G]I never kne[Am]w I'd miss you[G]
till I [Asus2]left and [G]came back[Am][Asus2][G]
[Asus2]Chica go,[Am] I ne[G]ver knew how muc[Am]h I'd
mis[G]s you till I [Asus2]left and [G]came back[Asus2][G]

[Verse 2]
My [Am]father [G]was a steel [Am]working [G]man
With [Am]an old style in his [G]hand he used
[Am]to stomp across these [G]lands
We [Am]buried him [G]here between
[Am]Roosevelt [G]and [Am]110
I still visit [G]his grave every
[Am]now and [G]then

[Verse 3]
[Am]Chicago, [G]I never knew I'd[Am] miss you[G] till
[Asus2]I left an[G]d came back[Asus2][G]
[Am]Chicago, [G]I never knew how[Am] much I'd
mis[G]s you till [Asus2]I left an[G]d came back[Asus2][G]

[Verse 4]
I used to [Am]lay my h[G]ead where
kings [Am]and stones held [G]ground
The [Am]warring in these [G]streets,
it still [Am]makes an awful [G]sound
[Am]Innocence [G]wouldn't stray
[Am]their roun[G]ds
[Am]Bullets broke the win[G]dows as our
[Am]bodies hit [G]the ground

[Verse 5]
[Am]Chicago, [G]I never kne[Am]w I'd miss you[G] till
I [Asus2]left and [G]came back[Asus2][G]
[Am]Chicago, [G]I never kne[Am]w how much I'd mis
[G]s you till [Asus2]I left an[G]d came back[Asus2][G]

[Verse 6]
It took [Am]a while [G]to under
[Am]stand these [G]facts
That [Am]made me who I [G]am and
gave me [Am]insight to re[G]act
Now [Am]I stand [G]proud in being
[Am]from this [G]land
And [Am]maybe you can [G]learn from my
ex[Am]perience [G]firsthand

[Verse 7]
[Am]Chicago, [G]I never knew I'd[Am] miss you[G]
till [Asus2]I left an[G]d came back[Am]
[Asus2]Chicago, [G]I n[Am]ever knew[G] how much I'd mi[Am]ss you till I lef[G]t and came[Am] back[Asus2][G][Asus2]
