[Verse 1]
A
She was ridin' up 65
A
Suckin' down a Papst Blue Ribbon
A E
And she was known by a name
E A
That she was not originally given
A
She had a sparkle license plate
A
Spelled out "Cindi" with an "I"
A E
She said, you can't make the big time
E A
if you don't kiss that small town goodbye.
[Chorus]
D A
She said Oh! Chicago!
D A
I said Oh! Chicago!
E
You must be kind to the redneck girls
A
With their high-class dreams
[Verse 2]
A
She was lookin' for a situation
A
on Lakeshore Drive
E
The only thing that she had
E A
To keep her dream alive.
A
Back home, a little misunderstood
A
Is all she'd ever been
E
Cuz she had to use her talent
E A
That no one down here had seen
[Chorus]
D A
Oh! Chicago!
D A
I said Oh! Chicago!
E
You must be kind to a redneck girl
A
With her high-class dreams
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A
Her daddy gave up,
A
Her momma still cries at night.
E
She says she ain't comin' back,
E A
But her momma still prays that she might
A
She was runnin' from her nowhere life
A
Down here in Knoxville
E
And if y'all don't care about her
E A
Just send her on home, cuz I will
[Chorus]
D A
I said Oh! Chicago!
D A
I said Oh! Chicago!
E
You must be kind to a redneck girl
A
With her high-class dreams
