About the Song
"Chicago" is a song written by Graham Nash for his solo debut Songs for Beginners. As a single, it reached #35 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song refers to both the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, as well as the trial of the Chicago Eight, where protesters at the convention were charged with intent to incite a riot. The first line of the song: "So your brother's bound and gagged, and they've chained him to a chair" refers to Bobby Seale, the only black defendant, who was gagged and bound to a chair in the courtroom following repeated outbursts. On Four Way Street, Nash dedicates the song to "Mayor Daley". The line "Won't you please come to Chicago just to sing" refers to Nash pleading with band mates Stephen Stills and Neil Young to come to Chicago to protest the Chicago Eight trial. CSN and CSNY still play the song live as they do with other solo.    Download this sheet!
About the Artist
Graham William Nash (born 2 February 1942) is a British singer-songwriter known for his light tenor vocals and for his songwriting contributions with the British pop group The Hollies, and with the folk-rock band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Nash is a photography collector and a published photographer. Interested in photography as a child, Nash began to collect photographs in the early 1970s. Having acquired more than a thousand prints by 1976, Nash hired Graham Howe as his photography curator. In 1978 through 1984 a touring exhibition of selections from the Graham Nash Collection toured to more than a dozen museums world wide. Nash decided to sell his 2,000 print collection though Sotheby's auction house in 1990 where it set an auction record for the highest grossing sale of a single private collection of photography. Proceeds of the auction sale provided the financial means to found Nash Editions, the first ever digital fine-art printing studio. In the late 1980s, Nash began to experiment with the early digital printers then becoming available through commercial printing bureaus in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Everything about piano sheet music Sheet music has a history of its own, dating back to the 19th century. In those days, musicians would play classic compositions using sheet music piano.

However, several unfamiliar compositions have also been recorded using sheet music.  (More...)
