Neil Young - Say Hello to Chicago (Big Band) lyrics

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 it's clattering train
Near an ornate theater where I
Soon will be playing soon will be playing
I soon will be playing soon will be playing

So I said hello for you
When I saw a stylish girl
Walking by on the sidewalk with her
Hair all in a swirl
From the wind that was growing at
The end of the day
And I wondered what would be coming my way
Oh what's coming my way
What's coming my way coming my way

You know I been to Chicago
I was here once before
And the rain kept on pounding
Outside that stage door
I was singing and drinking with
Love in my heart
I was younger and stronger while
Life played it’s part life played it’s part
Whoa, 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 come and they go
As friendship is everything if
Love is to last
And I have my guard down and love passes fast
Love passes fast love passes fast
Oh, love passes fast, yeah

Say hello to Chicago say hello
Say hello to Chicago
