C5      G5                C5 
By the shores of old Lake Michigan 
          F5         F#5      C5 
Where the hawk wind blows so cold 
   F5   F#5         C5         C5 
An old Cub fan lay dying 
       D5                G5 
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)  
       C5             C5 
Do they still play the blues in Chicago 
    F5                      C5 
When baseball season rolls around 
         F5 
When the snow melts away, 
       C5 
Do the Cubbies still play 
         D5                G5 
In their ivy covered burial ground? 
    C5                        C5 
When I was a boy they were my pride and joy 
    F5                     C5 
But now they only bring fatigue 
       F5 
To the home of the brave 
    C5        
The land of the free 
       D5             G5       C5 
And the doormat of the National League
