Say Hello to Chicago - Neil Young

When the blues moved north to Chicago they came

And I caught some myself in this blind alley and rain

Close to the L with its clattering train

Near an old ornate theater where I soon will be playing

I 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 would be 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

While 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 seem to come and 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

Love passes fast

Say hello to Chicago

Say hello to Chicago

Say hello to Chicago

Say hello to Chicago
