	Intro: G Em C D
	
	
	Verse 1
	
	
	G                          Em
	You always said I wouldn't stay
	
	            C                     G
	I guess you saw the way before it all began
	
	                            Em
	I've always been a changin' train
	
	             C                          D
	And when you think on this you might forgive me then
	
	
	
	Chorus
	
	
	Bb                    Gm
	Thanks for Chicago Mr James
	
	                 Eb                       Bb   Ab F Bb
	And all the shiny suits and all the shiny names
	
	                              Gm
	The things a country boy can't grace
	
	                    Eb           Bb
	Without the look of shame upon a city face
	
	        Ab                   G
	And you needed more than the smile I wore
	
	
	
	Verse 2
	
	
	                           Em
	You picked me up on my way down
	
	           C                           G
	That dusty one horse town - I won't forget the jail
	
	                         Em
	The mayor's wife and Cadillac
	
	            C                       D
	The sheriff on my back 'til you put up the bail
	
	
	
	Chorus
	
	
	Bb                    Gm
	Thanks for Chicago Mr James
	
	                 Eb                        Bb   Ab F Bb
	You got a lot of grace but you're an empty place
	
	                            Gm
	The dawn falls hard upon my face
	
	                 Eb                     Bb      
	I'll move as I began through fields without a plan
	
	B                     G#m
	Thanks for Chicago Mr James
	
	                       E                     B 
	That world of grey and gold that watched you growing old
	
	                         G#m
	The things I never saw I see
	
	                        E                   B
	To think that I'm still free and I'm not feeling cold
