[G] [Em]
[C] [D]
[G] You always said [Em] I wouldn't stay.
I guess you [C] saw the way [G] before it all began.
I've always been [Em] a changing drain, and when you [C] think on this, you [D] might forgive me [Am] then.
[Bb] Thanks for Chicago, [Gm] Mr.
James, and all [Eb] the shiny suits, and all [Bb] the shiny [Ab] names.
[F] [Bb] The things a country [Gm] boy can't grace without [Eb] the look of shame upon [Bb] your city face.
[Ab] And you needed more [Fm] than [Ab] [G] the smile I wore.
You picked me up [Em] on my way down that dusty [C] one-horse town.
I [G] won't forget the jail, the mayor's wife [A] and [Em] Cadillac,
the sheriff on [C] my back, till you [D] put up the bail.
[Bb] Thanks for Chicago, [Gm] Mr.
James, you've got [Eb] a lot of grace, but you're [Bb] an empty [Ab] place.
[F] [Bb] The dawn falls hard upon [Gm] my face, I'll [Eb] move as I began, through [Bb] fields without a plan.
[B] Thanks for Chicago, Mr.
[Abm] James, that world of [E] grain gold, that watched you [B] grow and grow.
The things I never saw, [Abm] I see, to [E] think that I'm still free, and I'm not [B] being told.
