A (8x)

[Verse 1]
A
She was ridin' up 65
A
Suckin' down a Papst Blue Ribbon
A                E
And she was known by a name
E                                A
That she was not originally given
A
She had a sparkle license plate
A
Spelled out "Cindi" with an "I"
A             E
She said, you can't make the big time
E                                      A
if you don't kiss that small town goodbye.

[Chorus]

         D       A
She said Oh! Chicago!
            D        A
I said Oh! Chicago!
                 E
You must be kind to the redneck girls
                           A
With their high-class dreams

[Verse 2]
A
She was lookin' for a situation
A
on Lakeshore Drive
   E
The only thing that she had
E                      A
To keep her dream alive.
A
Back home, a little misunderstood
A
Is all she'd ever been
   E
Cuz she had to use her talent
E                              A
That no one down here had seen

[Chorus]

D          A
Oh! Chicago!
            D        A
I said Oh! Chicago!
                 E
You must be kind to a redneck girl
                         A
With her high-class dreams

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A
Her daddy gave up,
A
Her momma still cries at night.
                  E
She says she ain't comin' back,
E                                       A
But her momma still prays that she might
A
She was runnin' from her nowhere life
A
Down here in Knoxville
E
And if y'all don't care about her
E                                A
Just send her on home, cuz I will

[Chorus]

            D        A
I said Oh! Chicago!
            D        A
I said Oh! Chicago!
                 E
You must be kind to a redneck girl
                         A
With her high-class dreams
