El año 1979 fue un año maravilloso en la música, se escucharon bellísimas canciones y se gesto un cambio en la música, pues ese fue el último año que la música disco fue un fenómeno de multitudes, ya vendrían los 80' con un volver a la música rock e inumerables fusiones de ritmos que se pensaban inconcebibles.
Pero recordemos el final de los años 70' con los videos de las mejores canciones de ese año.
Esta balada de Chicago que fue la canción #1 de 1989 es una canción atípica de este grupo.
Hasta ese momento ellos habían dado prominencia a las trompetas, pero aquí escuchamos un excelente solo de guitarra y la voz de Bill Chapman, ya en la era posterior a Peter Cetera.
A Well, you called me up this morning F#m Told me 'bout the new love you found D Said, "I'm happy for you. E I'm really happy for you."
Found someone else, I guess I won't be coming 'round I guess it's over, baby It's really over, baby, woooh
F#m And from what you're saying A I know you've gotten over me C#7 F#m A E It'll never be the way it used to be Bm E So if it's gotta be this way Bm Don't worry, baby, E I can take the news okay
A But if you see me walking by, D And the tears are in my eyes, A D E Look away, baby, look away. A If we meet on the street some day, D And I don't know what to say, A D E Look away, baby, look away. F#m Don't look at me D E A I don't want you to see me this way.
[Intro]
When we both agreed as lovers We were better off as friends That's how it had to be Yeah, that's how it had to be
I tell you I'm fine, But sometimes I just pretend Wish you were holding me, Wish you were still holding me, oooh I just never thought That I would be replaced so soon I wasn't prepared To hear those words from you I know I wanted to be free Yeah, baby this is how we wanted it to be
A But if you see me walking by, D And the tears are in my eyes, A D E Look away, baby, look away. A And if we meet on the street some day, D And I don't know what to say, A D E Look away, baby, look away. F#m Don't look at me D E A I don't want you to see me this way.
[Solo in B: F#m E F#m B E F#] B If you see me walking by, E And the tears are in my eyes, B E F# Look away, baby, look away. B And if we meet on the street some day, E And I don't know what to say, B E F# Look away, baby, look away. G#m Don't look at me E F# B I don't want you to see me (this way.) B If you see me walking by, And the tears are in my eyes, Look away, baby, look away. Don't look at me I don't want you to see me (this way.)
Verse: B Well, you called me up this morning G#m Told me 'bout the new love you found E Said, "I'm happy for you. F# I'm really happy for you."
B Well, you called me up this morning G#m Told me 'bout the new love you found E Said, "I'm happy for you. F# I'm really happy for you."
Para mi esta es la mejor canción que hizo Chicago; su sello inconfundible de trompetas y teclados junto con voces armoniosas se escuchan en todo su esplendor.
Viene de su álbum más popular de todos los tiempos, Chicago 17, y fue el último en el que participó Peter Cetera.

HARD HABIT TO BREAK
Intro: F# Ebm
F# Ebm I guess I thought you'd be here forever Another illusion I chose to create B F# Ebm B C# D E You don't know what ya got until it's gone And I found out just a little too late A D I was acting as if you were lucky to have me Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there A F#m E F G But then you were gone and it was all wrong Had no idea how much I cared
Chorus: C Em F Now being without you Takes a lot of getting used to Fm Should learn to live with it But I don't want to C Em Living without you Is all a big mistake F Fm Instead of getting easier It's the hardest thing to take G G# Bb C I'm addicted to ya babe You're a hard habit to break
You found someone else you had every reason You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him Two people together but living alone I was spreading my love too thin After all of these years I'm still tryin' to shake it Doin' much better they say that it just takes time But deep in the night it's an endless flight I can't get ya out of my mind Chorus
2nd Chorus C# Being without you Fm F# Takes a lot of getting used to F#m Should learn to live with it I don't want to C# Being without you Fm Is all a big mistake F# Instead of getting any easier F#m It's the hardest thing to take G# I'm addicted to you A B C# You're a hard habit to break
