🎸 Verse 1:
   G                                G/E  G/F#
My door is locked, my debts are paid
     G                       G/E  G/F#
I'll do the Chicago promenade
   G                            G/E  G/F#
My back was turned I did not see
     G                       G/E  G/F#
That shadow climbing up on me
  G                            G/E  G/F#
I took my turn at fixing hearts
    G                             G/E  G/F#
But that goes bad before it starts
    G                         G/E  G/F#
I'm desperate now, I must say
     G                       G/E  G/F#
I'll do the Chicago promenade
   G                        G/E  G/F#
If I die now before I'm old
   G                            G/E  G/F#
My story will be less than told
        G                             G/E  G/F#
There's so much more to suffer through
  G                         G/E  G/F#
Before I meet again with you
C              G/B                    Am   G Am
 I've tried so hard and I've been so blind
C                   G/B                 Am   G Am
 I thought we could all grieve one at a time
  G                               G/E  G/F#
I lost a friend it felt like five
  G                          G/E  G/F#
A man who wouldn't compromise
     G                              G/E  G/F#
I'll think of him on New Year's Day
    G                        G/E  G/F#
And do the Chicago promenade
