[Verse] Late at night, the city lights flashin' Down in the alleyway, the sound of a guitar strummin' Through the smoke-filled clubs, the jukebox is hummin' Chicago blues, it's the heart and soul of this town [Verse 2] Walking down Maxwell Street, you can feel the rhythm in your bones In the smoky bars, the musicians wail and moan The harmonica cries, as the piano keys are played Chicago blues, it's the pain and joy that never fade [Chorus] Oh, the Windy City blues, it's got a hold on me It's the sound that sets my spirit free In the land where Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf once reigned Chicago blues, it's a sweet sorrow I can't explain
