Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: A9  G

  A9          G                          A9       G
I come from a land where the winters are long and cold
          A9                  G            A9           G
Where the ice crawls over the lake and the strong winds blow
      A9                    A9            G
Where old men are tough and tell tales of old
       A9                    G            A9         G
A sore back for a hard day's work used to feed their souls

   A9  G          A9               G      A9  G         A9   G
Chicago, I never knew I'd miss you til I left and came back
   A9  G          A9                G               A9  G   A9   G
Chicago, I never knew how much I'd miss you til I left and came back

   A9     G           A9      G
My father was a steel working man
        A9               G                A9                 G
With an old style in his hand he used to stomp across these lands
   A9         G                 A9        G
We buried him here between Roosevelt and 110
A9                G           A9      G
I still visit his grave every now and then

   A9  G          A9               G      A9  G         A9   G
Chicago, I never knew I'd miss you til I left and came back
   A9  G          A9                G               A9  G   A9   G
Chicago, I never knew how much I'd miss you til I left and came back

          A9     G                    A9          G
I used to lay my head where kings and stones held ground
    A9               G                 A9             G
The warring in these streets, it still makes an awful sound
A9     G           A9          G
Innocence wouldn't stray their rounds
A9                G              A9             G
Bullets broke the windows as our bodies hit the ground

   A9  G          A9               G      A9  G         A9   G
Chicago, I never knew I'd miss you til I left and came back
   A9  G          A9                G               A9  G   A9   G
Chicago, I never knew how much I'd miss you til I left and came back

          A9   G        A9          G
It took a while to understand these facts
     A9            G              A9           G
That made me who I am and gave me insight to react
      A9    G              A9        G
Now I stand proud in being from this land
    A9            G               A9            G
And maybe you can learn from my experience firsthand

   A9  G          A9               G      A9  G         A9   G
Chicago, I never knew I'd miss you til I left and came back
   A9  G          A9                G               A9  G   A9   G
Chicago, I never knew how much I'd miss you til I left and came back

   A9  G  A9  G
