_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ In [A] 1935, _ I [B] was living in paradise.
[C#m] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ I had [A] a friend up in Cicero.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] We used to go out to the [A] track. _ _
[B] We'd knock a few whiskies [C#m] back. _ _
[E] I'd lose my shirt [A] and I would lose my way [B] home. _ _ _ _ _
I [E] was driving my studs _ [A] Blackhawk through [B] justice in the [C#m] dark.
[E] _ _
_ Suddenly, _ [A] the blood froze in my [B] veins. _ _ _ _ _
She [E] was standing by the [A] road _ in [B] an _ incandescent [C#m] glow. _ _
[E] My heart stood still.
[A] My foot slammed down the [B] braids.
_ _ _ She said, [C#m] please, _ _ [B] _ please, would [A] you dignify my [E] wish? _
_ [C#m] I'm trying to get to [B] heaven. _ _
[A] Could you tell me where that [B] is? _
_ _ _ _ [E] On a white _
_ [B] Chicago _ _ [A] night, _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ [E] with a wind _ _ _ howling _ [A] light, _
_ [C#m] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] I caught [G#m] my [E] first _ [C#m] sight _ of _ _ [E] resurrectionary. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ I was trembling like a [A] leaf.
_ I [B] was scared beyond belief.
[C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ After all my [A] conscience ain't that [B] clear, _ _
_ _ _ I [E] used to work for Mickey [A] Finn.
_ I [B] did the numbers for Big [C#m] Jim.
_ _ [E] Perhaps my day [A] of reckoning _ [E] [B] lies here. _
_ _ I said, [C#m] please, _
_ [E] _ please, [A] I would dignify your [E] wish.
_ _ _ [C#m] But when it comes to [B] heaven, _ I'm [A] just a little bit _ [B] amateurish.
_ _ On _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] a white _ [B] Chicago _
_ [F#m] _ night, _ _ _ _
[E] with a wind _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ howling light,
_ _ I _ cheated _ [C#m] tight _ _ [E] with _ _ _ resurrectionary. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] I felt tears fall in my _ [E] _ eyes.
[G#] For the first time, [A] I felt something deep inside.
[E] _ _ For [G#] the first time, [A] I saw angels high in the [E] air.
_ _ [G#] For the first time in [C#m] my _ life, _ _ _ [A] I said, Mary, [B] go to the light.
_ _ _ _ It's going to be [E] all right. _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] I got down on my [A] knees. _ _
[B] I said, sweet Mary, [C#m] please, _
_ [E] _ _ dignify these [A] wishes _
[B] for your one. _ _ _ _ _
[E] Will you tell him I'm [A] reformed? _
[B] Will you tell him I'm [E] reborn? _ _
She closed her eyes, [A] and then she spoke [B] in tongues. _ _ _
I [C#m] said, please, _ [B] _ please, _ [A] _ tell me what he [E] says.
She [C#m] said, you must die [B] the day before.
[A] The devil knows [B] _ you're dead.
_ _ _ On _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] a white _ _ Chicago _ [A] night, _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] with a wind _ _ howling [A] light, _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[G#m] I waved _ _ [C#m] goodbye. _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Chicago _ [A] night, _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I _ _ lost _ _ sight of _ _ _ resurrectionary. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Resurrectionary. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Resurrectionary. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Resurrectionary. _ _ _
_ _ With the naked eyes. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ With the naked _ _ _ eyes.

[C#m] With _ the naked eyes. _
