D Am C G
Deep inside my soul fights a war
F C G
I can’t explain, I can’t cross over any more
E Am C G
All I see are dirty faces
F C G
Rain and wire, and common sense in pieces
E Am – G – F
But I try to see through Irish eyes
Dbm – D
Belfast
Look outside, summer’s lost and gone
It’s a long walk on a street of right and wrong
In every inch of sadness
Rocks and tanks go hand in hand with madness
But I never saw a braver place
Belfast
G D Am Em
And it’s sad when they sing, and hollow ears listen
G D Am Em
Of smoking black roses, on the streets of Belfast
C G Dm Am
And so say your lovers from under the flowers
C G F Dbm – D
Every foot of this world needs an inch of Belfast
Who’s to say on whom heaven smiles
Our different ways we try hard to recognise
No more enchanted evenings
The pubs are closed and all the ghosts are leaving
But you’ll never let them shut you down
Belfast
E Bm D A
The enemy is not at home
G D/F# D A
A jealous green 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 – Bm/A – G E Am
But I never saw a braver face
Dbm – D
Belfast
