In [Dm] the heat of a summer _ night, [G] _ in the land of the [C] dollar barrel, _ _
_ When the town of [Dm] Chicago died, _
[G] _ and they talk [C] about it still.
When a man named [D] Escapone, tried to make that [C] town his own,
And he called this [D] gangsta war, with the forces [C] of the law.
I heard my mama cry, _ pray the night [Dm]
Chicago died.
_ _ _ [G] Brother, what a night it really was, brother, what a fight it really was,
[C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
And _ _ [G] all the streets _ _ of the old east [C] side, till the last of the hoodlum gang,
And the _ _ _ sound of the [Dm] battle _ rang, [G] _ through the streets of the [C] old east side, _
_ Till the last of the [Dm] hoodlum gang, _
[G] _ had surrendered [C] or died.
There was shouting [D] in the street, and the sound of [C] running feet,
And as someone [D] said, about a hundred [C] cops are dead.
I heard my mama cry, _ _ pray the night [Dm]
Chicago died.
_ _ _ [G] Brother, what a night it really was, brother, what a fight it really was,
Glory _ be, I heard my mama cry, I heard pray the [Dm] night Chicago _ died.
_ _ [G] Brother, what a night the people saw, brother, what a fight the people saw,
[C] Yes, indeed, _ _ then there was no [Dm] sound at _ _ [G] all.
But the clock upon [C] the wall, _ [G] _
_ [Dm] then the door burst open wide,
[G] And my daddy [C] stepped inside, and he kissed my [D] mama's face,
[G] And he brushed her [C] tears away, the night Chicago died.
Never, never, never, never, [Dm] never, the night Chicago _ died.
[G] Brother, what a night the people saw, brother, what a fight the people saw.
[C] Yes indeed, the night Chicago _ dies.
[A] Night, night, [Dm] _ night, night, night.
The night Chicago die.
[G] Brother, what a night it really was.
Brother, what a night it really was.
[C] Glory be. _ _ _ _
