MY LOST CHICAGO
[nod to Sinatra's
"Chicago" theme]
Chicago-- Chicago-- da-da-da-da-da-da / da-da-da-da-da-da --- Ah---
1. Once upon a time so long ago
I had a home outside Chicago
In Second City, it snowed and snowed---
Now it's broken--- oh-- oh--
My old--- lost--- Chicago-- hmm---
2. Buddy's still playin' his blues licks
Came across Route 66
from the South side that I fled
so many years ago--- oh-- oh--
My cold--- lost--- Chicago-- hmm---
[BRIDGE:]
Sweet memories of snowy avenues
Where they played the Delta blues
[Blues riff:]
The Windy City's howlin' in my soul
it rages on, it's taken its toll
All of my life it's stayed with me
the bustlin' folk and blues city-- ooh----

Chicago-- Oh--- I miss-- my-- sweet home---, I miss-- my--
sweet home---

3. Haunted by--- Lake Michigan haze
frozen nights and windy days
In Old Town I sang at the Earl
I was--- a--- young, creative girl, oh--
in my--- lost--- Chicago-- ahh----
