Belfast

Tom : Am
D Am
Deep inside
C G
My soul fights a war
F
I can't explain
C G
I can't cross over anymore
E Am C G
All I see are dirty faces
F
Rain and wire
C G
And common sense in pieces
E Am Em/G F A D
But I try to see through Irish eyes, Belfast
D Am
Look outside
C G
Summer's lost and gone
F
It's a long walk
C G
On a street of right and wrong
E Am
In every inch of sadness
C G
Rocks and tanks
F C G
Go hand in hand with madness
E Am Em/G F A D
But I never saw a braver place, Belfast
[Chorus]:
G D
And its sad when they sing
Am Em
And hollow ears listen
G D
Of smoking black roses
Am Em
On the streets of Belfast
C G
And so say your lovers
Dm7 Am
From under the flowers
C Bb/G
Every foot of this world
F A D
Needs an inch of Belfast

[Verse]
D Am
Who's to say
C G
On whom Heaven smiles
F
Our different ways
C G
We try hard to recognise
E Am C G
No more enchanted evenings
F
The pubs are closed
C G
And all the ghosts are leaving
E Am Em/G F A D
But you'll never let them shut you down, Belfast

[Chorus]
E Bm D A
The enemy is not at home
G5
A jealous green
F5 D5 A Asus4 A
Streaks down this faulty diamond
F# Bm D A
No bloody boots or crucifix
G D A
Can ever hope to split this emerald island
F# Bm F#m/A G
But I never saw a braver place
E Am Em/G F A D
Belfast
