Born In Chicago Lyrics - Steve Hackett

Well, I was born in Chicago back in 19 and 41 

I was born in Chicago back in 19 and 41 

Well, my father told me 

Son, you had better get a gun! 

Well, my first friend went down when I was 17 years old 

Well, my first friend went down when I was 17 years old 

Well, there's one thing you can say 'bout that, boy 

He got gold 

My second friend went down when I was 21 years old 

Well, my second friend went down when I was 21 years old 

There's one thing you can say 'bout that, boy 

He got bread 

Well, the blues's all right when there's someone left to play the game 

Well, the blues's all right when there's someone left to play the game 

All my friends are going 

And things just don't seem the same
