Mississippi City Delta Blues

Biography:

Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The self-described "rock and roll band with horns" began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, generating several hit ballads. They had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Second only to The Beach Boys in Billboard singles and albums chart success among American bands, Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups in history.

Intro on:

E7

[Verse]

E7 E7+9
I've got a smile
E7
That I put on
E7
When I'm not at home
E7+9
When I'm not alone
E7 E7+9
But it is so hard
E7
To make that smile

Because I know I'll be at home

And alone in a while

And if I look in a mirror

I see my eyes start to tear

I can't help but cry

Since you said goodbye

chorus
Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
I've got to hide
G#m7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
What I'm feeling inside
G#m7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
Can't let them see
G#m7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
What you'e doing to me

E7
So I guess that's what I'll do

Won't let them see through

Won't let them know

That you could hurt me so

|E7 | % | % | % |

E7 E7+9
I've got a laugh
E7
That I put on

When I'm not at home
E7+9
When I'm not alone
E7
But it is so hard

To fake that laugh

When my insides are crying

And my heart's torn in half

And all the music I hear

And things I valued so dear

Make me feel so blue

They all remind me of you

Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
What can I do?
G#m7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
Our love is through
G#m7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
And my purpose is gone
G#m7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
Still I got to live on
E7
I guess that's what I'll do

I won't let them see through

I won't let them know

That you could hurt me
|E7 | % |

That I'm coming through
G#m7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
And my purpose is gone
G#m7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
Yet I got to hang on

E7
I guess that's what I'll do

I won't let them see through

I won't let them know

That you could hurt me so
