Thanks For Chicago Mr James chords by Scott Walker

Guitar chords with lyrics

G Em C D

[Verse 1]
G                          Em
You always said I wouldn't stay
           C                     G
I guess you saw the way before it all began
                            Em
I've always been a changin' train
             C                          D
And when you think on this you might forgive me then

[Chorus]
Bb                    Gm
Thanks for Chicago Mr James
                  Eb                      Bb   Ab F Bb
And all the shiny suits and all the shiny names
                              Gm
The things a country boy can't grace
                    Eb           Bb
Without the look of shame upon a city face
        Ab                   G
And you needed more than the smile I wore
[Verse 2]
                           Em
You picked me up on my way down
           C                           G
That dusty one horse town - I won't forget the jail
                         Em
The mayor's wife and Cadillac
            C                       D
The sheriff on my back 'til you put up the bail

[Chorus]
Bb                    Gm
Thanks for Chicago Mr James
                 Eb                        Bb   Ab F Bb
You got a lot of grace but you're an empty place
                            Gm
The dawn falls hard upon my face
                 Eb                     Bb
I'll move as I began through fields without a plan
B                     G#m
Thanks for Chicago Mr James
                       E                     B
That world of grey and gold that watched you growing old
                         G#m
The things I never saw I see
                        E                   B
