The Night Chicago Died taby ukulele według Paper Lace

C
Daddy was a cop,
on the east side of Chicago.
Back in the U.S.A.,
back in the bad old days...
 
 
 
                          Dm     G          G7                C
In the heat of the summer night,    in the land of the dollar bill.
 
                         Dm     G         G7            C
When the town of Chicago died,   and they talk about it still.
 
                      Dm              G7                 C
When a man named Al Capone,  tried to make that town his own,
 
                          Dm             G7            C
and he called his gang to war,  with the forces of the law.
 
 
 
           C                                        Dm
I heard my mama cry,  I heard her pray the night Chicago died.
 
G7                                  G7
brother what a night it really was, brother what a fight it really was.
 
C
glory be. 
           C                                       Dm
I heard my mama cry, I heard her pray the night Chicago died.
 
G7                                   G7
Brother what a night the people saw, brother what a fight the people saw.
 
C
Yes indeed.
 
 
 
        C                   Dm     G            G7                      C
And the sound of the battle rang,   through the streets of the old east side.
 
                             Dm    G         G7            C
Till the last of the hoodlem gang,   had surrendered up or died.
 
                          Dm              G7               C
There was shouting in the street, and the sound of running feet,
 
                        Dm            G7               C
and I asked someone who said, about a hundred cops are dead.
 
 
 
 
           C                                        Dm
I heard my mama cry,  I heard her pray the night Chicago died.

                           Dm    G       G7              C
Then there was no sound at all,  but the clock up on the wall. (tick tock tick tock tick tock)
 
                         Dm            G7              C
Then the door burst open wide,  and my daddy stepped inside,
 
                        Dm           G7                 C
and he kissed my mama's face, and he brushed her tears away
 
 
          C                                              Dm
the night Chicago died. Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na na na, the night Chicago died.
