Intro: G D Em
    
CHORUS
      G      D       Em
      In the city of Chicago
      G      D               Bm
      As the evening shadows fall
      C         D          Em
      There are people dreaming
      C      D           Am
      Of the hills of Donegal
 
   Am               C
   Eighteen forty seven
           D           Em
   was the year it all began
   Am              C
   Deadly pains of hunger
           D                Em
   Drove a million from the land
        Am                   C
   They journeyed not for glory
         G             Em
   Their motive wasn't greed
     Am             C
   A voyage of survival
   D                 Em
   Across the stormy sea
    
CHORUS
    
Some of them knew fortune
Some of them knew fame
More of them knew hardship
Died upon the plain
They spread throughout the nation
They rode the railroad cars
Brought their songs and music
To ease their lonely hearts
