G C In this cold windy city of Chicago G D7 Here I stand I'm a-waiting for a train G C Lord I wish had lots of money G D7 G Tonight I'd go home on a big jet plane C But I can't even buy a cup of coffee G D7 And my spirits they are a-bending low G C With the wind to my back I stand along the track G D7 G In this cold windy city of Chicago D7 G Blow wind blow your fingers are colder than snow And Lord I've never been C Where I didn't have a friend G D7 G Till the cold windy city of Chicago C In this cold windy city of Chicago G D7 Lord the wind it chills me to the bone G C And I never realized in a town of this size G D7 G How a man could feel so low and all alone C In the distance I hear the train a coming G D7 And the whistle mourns soft and low G C You can almost hear it say be glad you're on your way G D7 G From the cold windy city of Chicago D7 G Blow wind blow your fingers are colder than snow And Lord I've never been C Where I didn't have a friend G D7 G Till the cold windy city of Chicago D7 G Till the cold windy city of Chicago
