 I'm sittin'  in Chicago  on the thirtieth  floor
 Lookin' down  on the city below
 My heart is cold  as the wind  through the streets
 And outside  it's starting to snow
 Weeks  ago I  left you in  sunny Caroline
 Sittin'  in our home in the pines
 I got a  job to do that  takes me away  from you
 But your love  still remains on my mind
I'm  in love with that girl from that Roebuck  town
 Since I met  her she's made my life  so sound
 She's sweet  and she's kind and she's  mine all mine
 She's the best  thing that I'll  ever find
 The city  lights have  gone
 And the night  has brought a storm
 And soon  I'll be headin' home to you
 I can taste your wine
 Though it's  been a long,long time
 No more  will I have the Chicago blues
 I'm in love  with that girl from that  Roebuck town
 Since I met  her she's made my life  so sound
 She's sweet  and she's kind and she's mine  all mine
 She's the best  thing that I'll  ever  find
 Look  look around  there's snow  on the ground
 What a cold  hard life  that I've known
 But my love  still glows  like the city  below
 Because  of all the love  she's shown
 I'm on a southbound  train
 Takin' me away  from this snow
 Takin' me  where I really want to go
Out  of these chilly winds  and havin'  no friends
 
I  need the warmth of your sweet lovin' soul
I'm  in love  with that girl from that  Roebuck town
 Since I met  her she's made my life  so sound
 She's sweet  and she's kind and she's  mine all mine
 She's the best  thing that I'll  ever find
Got  the windy city blues

[A7] [A7sus2] [A7Sus4] [A7]

I'm [A7]sittin' in Ch[A7sus2]icago on the t[A7Sus4]hirtieth fl[A7]oor

Lookin' d[D]own on the city be[A7]low[A7sus2]       [A7Sus4]              [A7]

My heart is [A7sus2]cold as the [A7Sus4]wind through the str[A7]eets

And outs[D]ide it's starting to s[A7]now[A7sus2]       [A7Sus4]              [A7]

W[A7]eeks ago I[A7sus2] left you in[A7Sus4] sunny Carol[A7]ine

S[D]ittin' in our home in the p[A7]ine[A7sus2]s      [A7Sus4]             [A7]

I got [A7sus2]a job to do that[A7Sus4] takes me a[A7]way from you

But your l[D]ove still remains on my m[A7]ind[A7sus2]       [A7Sus4]

[A7]I'm in love with that girl from that [A]Roebuck town

Since I m[D]et her she's made my l[A]ife so sound

She's sw[D]eet and she's kind and she's[A] mine all mine

She's the b[G]est thing that [D]I'll ever f[A7]ind[A7sus2]       [A7su4]

The c[A7]ity lights have[A7sus2] gone

And the [A7Sus4]night has brought a st[A7]orm

And s[D]oon I'll be headin' home to y[A7]ou [A7sus2]        [A7Sus4]               [A7]

I can taste your [A7sus2]wine

Though it's[A7Sus4] been a long,long t[A7]ime

No m[D]ore will I have the Chicago b[A7]lue[A7sus2]s      [A7Sus4]             [A7]

I'm in l[D]ove with that girl from that[A] Roebuck town

Since I m[D]et her she's made my l[A]ife so sound

She's sw[D]eet and she's kind and she's [A]mine all mine

She's the b[G]est thing that [D]I'll ever[A7] fi[A7sus2]nd     [A7Sus4]            [A7]

L[G]ook look aro[D]und there's sn[A]ow on the ground

What a c[G]old hard l[D]ife that I've kn[A]own

But my l[G]ove still gl[D]ows like the c[A]ity below

Bec[G]ause of all the l[D]ove she's s[A7]how[A7sus2]n      [A7Sus4]

I'm on a s[A7]outhbound[A7sus2] train

Takin' me [A7Sus4]away from this s[A7]now

Takin' m[D]e where I really want to [A7]go [A7sus2]        [A7Sus4]

[A7]Out of these chilly [A7sus2]winds and [A7Sus4]havin' no fr[A7]iends

   [D]                                   [A7] [A7sus2]
[A7Sus4]I need the warmth of your sweet lovin' soul

[A7]I'm in l[D]ove with that girl from that[A] Roebuck town

Since I m[D]et her she's made my [A]life so sound

She's sw[D]eet and she's kind and she's[A] mine all mine

She's the b[G]est thing that [D]I'll ever f[A7]ind[A7sus2]       [A7Sus4]

[A7]      [A7sus2]     [A7Sus4] [A7]   [A7] [A7sus2]
[A7]Got the windy city blues
