BB  E MajorE     F# minorF#m      BB
Well I came to Chicago in 1869.
   A augmentedA     BB         E MajorE
And I took me a place in Connely's patch.
        C# minorC#m   F# minorF#m      BB
Started on the railroad working the UP line and
A augmentedA       BB        E MajorE
walking those endless miles of track.
    A augmentedA     BB       E MajorE       C# minorC#m
Laying down those crossties and banging on the steel
A augmentedA         BB
in the cold wind and rain.
   A augmentedA   BB    E MajorE       C# minorC#m
From Palmer House, down to Marshall Fields,
A augmentedA             BB
oh every day was just the same.

      A augmentedA  BB   E MajorE  C# minorC#m
But at the end of the day,
     A augmentedA      BB    E MajorE
we'd all wait for the horn to blow.
     A augmentedA  BB  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Then we'd make our way
      F# minorF#m   BB    E MajorE
down to the bars on Whiskey Row.

A augmentedA   BB   E MajorE

E MajorE      A augmentedA      F# minorF#m          BB
Over in the stockyards the packers are winding down,
      A augmentedA    BB        E MajorE
they're all waiting for the closing sign.
         C# minorC#m     A augmentedA         BB
They'll rush the front gates they'll storm the town,
     A augmentedA     BB       E MajorE
and we'll take their seats upon the line.
      A augmentedA       BB       E MajorE       C# minorC#m
With their glasses on the counter, their feet upon the rail.
A augmentedA           BB
a friendly smile and hello.
    A augmentedA        BB      E MajorE       C# minorC#m
All the laughing getting louder with every passing tale,
A augmentedA              BB
those golden days on Whiskey Row.

BB     A augmentedA  BB   E MajorE  C# minorC#m
And at the end of the day,
     A augmentedA      BB    E MajorE
we'd all wait for the horn to blow.
     A augmentedA  BB  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Then we'd make our way
      F# minorF#m   BB    E MajorE
down to the bars on Whiskey Row.

A augmentedA   BB   E MajorE

E MajorE          F# minorF#m
Now Palmer House has fallen.
F# minorF#m         BB
The cars are off the tracks,
     A augmentedA    BB         E MajorE
and there ain't no more of Courthouse Square.
E MajorE        C# minorC#m   A augmentedA        BB
Nothing is left standing over at Connelys Patch
      A augmentedA   BB         E MajorE
since that mighty fire tore through there.
    A augmentedA    BB      E MajorE       C# minorC#m
Oh, but some day soon she'll rise up to the sky,
A augmentedA              BB
Over the rivers, flames and smoke.
     A augmentedA    BB    E MajorE       C# minorC#m
And she'll keep a lookout with a mothers eye,
A augmentedA            BB
over her boys on Whiskey Row,

BB     A augmentedA  BB   E MajorE  C# minorC#m
And at the end of the day,
     A augmentedA      BB    E MajorE
we'd all wait for the horn to blow.
     A augmentedA  BB  E MajorE  A augmentedA
Then we'd make our way
      F# minorF#m   BB    E MajorE
down to the bars on Whiskey Row.
