Version 1
            [Intro]

Em Am Em Am


[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     Em
   Of the hills of Donegal.


[Verse 1]

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,
D                   Em
Their motive wasn't greed,
Am          C
A voyage of survival,
D                 Em      C
Across the stormy sea.


[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        Em
   Of the hills of Donegal.


[Verse 2]

Am                   C
Some of them knew fortune,
D                 Em
Some of them knew fame,
Am                 C
More of them knew hardship,
D                      Em
And died working on the plain.
Am                        C
They spread throughout the nation,
D                    Em
They rode the railroad cars,
Am                     C
Brought their songs and music,
D                     Em
To ease their lonely hearts.


[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.


[Outro]

Em Am Em Am Em Am Em
