I heard a band in Lisdoonvarna last summer (no, I wasn't at the matchmaking festival) who did a tune called "Chicago"...it was some sad tale about an emigrant. I don't think it was an original...anyone heard of this tune?

Lots of Chi-town songs. We need a quote from the lyrics, or something.

there was a song called "the city of Chicago" by Christy Moore whose chorus started

In the city of Chicago, As the evening shadows fall,
there are people dreaming, Of the hills of Donegal

Is this the song ?
