Say Hello to Chicago (Big Band) - Neil Young

When the blues moved north

To Chicago they came

And I caught some myself in

This blind alley in rain

Close to the L with it's clattering train

Near an old ornate theatre

Where I soon will be playing

Soon will be playing

I soon will be playing

Soon will be playing

So I said hello for you

When I saw a stylish girl

Walking by on the sidewalk

With her hair in a swirl

From the wind that was growing

At the end of the day

And I wondered

What would be coming my way

What's coming my way

What's coming my way

Coming my way

You know I been to Chicago

I was here once before

And the rain kept on pounding

Outside the stage door

I was singing and drinking

With love in my heart

I was younger and stronger

While life played it's part

Life played it's part

Life played it's part

Life played it's part

Let us not be strangers

If we come to know

Things about each other

That come and they go

'Cause friendship is everything

If love is to last

And I have my guard down

And love passes fast

Love passes fast

Love passes fast

Oh love passes fast

Say hello to Chicago

Say hello

Say hello to Chicago
