Illinois Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Clean prairie winds blow
From Rockford to Cairo
Over the cornfields
That gleam in the sun
And off in the east glow
The lights of Chicago
When daylight is ended
And night has begun
In Illinois, Illinois

[Verse 2]
The skyline, the stockyard
The Gold Coast, the grain fields
Chicago, the giant
That leads all the rest
Chicago, where trains roll
Into the station
The heart of the nation
The start of the West
In Illinois, Illinois

[Piano Solo]
In Illinois, Illinois

[Bridge]
Blue haze of winter
Hangs over the prairie
Feel the soft winds of spring
Chase the chill from the air

[Verse 3]
Bright August mornings
And the warm summer rain falls
On brisk autumn days
With a harvest to share
In Illinois, Illinois, Illinois, Illinois

[Instrumental Outro]
