In the city of Chicago as the evening shadows fall,
C D Em C D Am Em
there are people dreaming of the hills of Donegal.

Eighteen forty-seven was the year it all began
Am C D Em
deadly pains of hunger drove a million from the land.
Am C D Em
They journeyed not for glory, their motive wasn't greed,
Am C D C
a voyage of survival across the stormy sea.
G D Em G D Bm
In the city of Chicago as the evening shadows fall,
C D Em C D Am Em
there are people dreaming of the hills of Donegal.
Am C D Em
Some of them knew fortune, and some of them knew fame,
Am C D Em
more of them knew hardship and died upon the plain.
Am C D Em
They spread throughout the nation, they rode the railroad cars,
Am C D C
brought their songs and music to ease their lonely hearts.
G D Em G D Bm
In the city of Chicago as the evening shadows fall,

there are people dreaming of the hills of Donegal.
