Wasnt Born In Chicago

A A I wasn't born in Chigaco, A But I can play the blues. A I wasn't part of no union, A But I paid my dues. A G A I never got into a train wreck, A G A But I went off the rails. A G A I never went under the hammer, A G a 'cause I was hard as nails. A A I never swam in dirty water, A But my name was mud. A I never knew you was a virus, A But you got into my blood. A G A I never was a politician, A G A But I learned to lie. A G A I never led a delegation, A G A I was too smart to try. A A I wasn't born in Chigaco, A But I can play the blues. A I wasn't part of no union, A But I paid my dues. A G A I never was no kind of prisoner, A G A But I've been to jail. A G A And I was never in a train wreck, A G A But I went off the rails, big time. A G A I never swam in dirty water, A G A But my name was mud. A G A I never knew you was a virus, A G A You got into my blood, blood. A I wasn't born in Chigaco, A But I can play the blues, ah
