Biography:
Luka Bloom (born 23 May 1955 as Barry Moore) is an accomplished Irish folk-rock singer-songwriter. He is also the younger brother of Irish folk singer Christy Moore.
In order to avoid the pressure of being related to Christy Moore, Bloom adopted his pseudonym. "Luka" is taken from the title of Suzanne Vega's song "Luka" about child abuse and "Bloom" refers to the main character in James Joyce's Ulysses. Bloom is, however, very forthcoming about being Moore's brother and does not hide behind his stage name.

[Chorus]
G D Em
In the city if Chicago,
G D Bb
As the evening shadows fall,
C D Em
There Are people dreaming,
C D Am
Of the hills of Donegal.
[Verse 1]
Am C
Eighteen forty - seven
D Em
Was the year it all began,
Am C
Deadly pains of hunger,
D Em
Drove a million from the land.
Am C
They journeyed not for glory,
D Em
Their motive wasn't greed,
Am C
A voyage of survival,
D Em
Across the stormy sea.

Of the hills of Donegal.
[Verse 2]
(Same cords as 1st verse)
Some of them knew fortune,
Some of them knew fame,
More of them knew hardship,
And died working on the plain.
They spread throughout the nation,
They rode the railroad cars,
Brought their songs and music,
To ease their lonely hearts.
[Chorus]
