A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request

C      G7                C
By the shores of old Lake Michigan
          F         F#      C
Where the hawk wind blows so cold
   F   F#         C         C/A
An old Cub fan lay dying
       D7                G7
In his midnight hour that tolled
{as above}
'Round his bed, his friends had all gathered
They knew his time was short
And on his head the put this bright blue cap
From his all-time favorite sport
He told them "it's late and its getting dark in here"
And I know its time to go
But before I leave the line-up
There's just one thing I'd like to know

(Chorus, sung)
       C             C7
Do they still play the blues in Chicago
    F                      C
When baseball season rolls around
         F
When the snow melts away,
       C
Do the Cubbies still play
         D7                G7
In their ivy covered burial ground?
    C                        C7
When I was a boy they were my pride and joy
    F                     C
But now they only bring fatigue
       F
To the home of the brave
    C
The land of the free
       D7             G7       C
And the doormat of the National League
