G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
[Verse 1]
G+G E minorEm
You always said I wouldn't stay
C majorC G+G
I guess you saw the way before it all began
E minorEm
I've always been a changin' train
C majorC D MajorD
And when you think on this you might forgive me then
[Chorus]
Bb majorBb G minorGm
Thanks for Chicago Mr James
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb AbAb FF Bb majorBb
And all the shiny suits and all the shiny names
G minorGm
The things a country boy can't grace
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Without the look of shame upon a city face
AbAb G+G
And you needed more than the smile I wore
[Verse 2]
E minorEm
You picked me up on my way down
C majorC G+G
That dusty one horse town - I won't forget the jail
E minorEm
The mayor's wife and Cadillac
C majorC D MajorD
The sheriff on my back 'til you put up the bail
[Chorus]
Bb majorBb G minorGm
Thanks for Chicago Mr James
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb AbAb FF Bb majorBb
You got a lot of grace but you're an empty place

The dawn falls hard upon my face
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
I'll move as I began through fields without a plan
BB G# minorG#m
Thanks for Chicago Mr James
E MajorE BB
That world of grey and gold that watched you growing old
G# minorG#m
The things I never saw I see
E MajorE BB
