Born In Chicago Lyrics & Chords By Mike Bloomfield

I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty-one
I was born in Chicago at nineteen and forty-one
Well, my father told me
"Son, you had better get a gun"
Well, my first friend went down
When I was seventeen years old
Well, my first friend went down
When I was seventeen years old
Well, there's one thing I can say about that boy
He gotta go
Well, my second friend went down
When I was twenty one years of age
Well, my second friend went down
When I was twenty one years of age
Well, there's one thing I can say about that boy
He gotta pray
Well, now rules are alright
If there's someone left to play the game
Well, now rules are alright
If there's someone left to play the game
All my friends are going
And thing's just don't seem the same
Oh, thing's just don't seem the same, babe
