[Chorus]
6 6 66 5
6-6-6 In the city of Chicago,
6 66 5
6 -6 -7 As the evening shadows fall,
-7 7
-77 -7-6 There Are people dreaming,
-6 7 -7- 6-6
6-6 Of the hills of Donegal.
[Verse 1]
- 6-6-6 6 6
5 Eighteen forty - seven
5 6 -6-6 -6
6 5 Was the year it all began,
5 6 -6-6 -6 7
-7-6 Deadly pains of hunger,
-67 -7 -6
-6 6 -6 Drove a million from the land.
- 6-6 -6
6 6 5 They journeyed not for glory, 56 -6
-6-6 6 5 Their motive wasn't greed, 5 6-6-6 7
-7-6 A voyage of survival,
-67 -7 -6-6
6-6 Across the stormy sea.
[Chorus]

{Verse2}
Some of them knew fortune, some
of them knew fame, More of them knew
hardship, And died upon the
plain, They spread throughout the
nation, They rode the railroad
cars, Brought their songs and
music, To ease their lonely
hearts. |
