Cold Windy City Of Chicago 
Written and recorded by Boxcar Willie
 
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

Repeat #3
 
                    D7         G
Till the cold windy city of Chicago
