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
