Verse 1:
              Em                    Em
The seeds are planted here but they won't grow.
         Em                        Em
We won't have to say goodbye if we all go.
      Em                    Em
Maybe things will be better   in Chicago.

Verse 2:
         Em                         Em
To leave all we've ever known for a place we've never seen,
Em                                Em
maybe things will be better in Chicago.
           Em                         Em
Well, it's brave for us to stay, even braver to go,
             Em          Em (2 beats i.s.o. 4 beats)
wherever she goes I go.
                     Em           Em
Maybe things will be better in Chicago.

Verse 3:
        Em            Em
What we need the Lord will give us,
       Em            Em
all we want we carry with us.
         Em                              Em
You know where I can be found, where the rainbow hits the ground,
         Em             Em
I'm not alone, I'm not afraid.
            Em                  Em
'Cause this bird has flown from his cage,
           Em                               Em
there's so much magic we have known on this sapphire we call home.
        Em                    Em
With my coat and my hat I say goodbye to all that,
      Em                          Em
maybe things will be better in Chicago,
      Em                    Em
maybe things will be better   in Chicago.
