Capo 2
C Am
At the east end of town, at the foot of the hill,
G F C
There’s a chimney so tall, it says Belfast mill,
Chorus:
C Am
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
G F C
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
Am
There’s no smoke at all coming out of the stack,
G F C
For the mill has shut down, and it’s never coming back.
Chorus:
C Am
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
G F C
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
C Am
There’s no children playing in the dark narrow streets,
G F C
Since the mill has shut down its so quiet, I can’t sleep.
Chorus:
C Am
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
G F C
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
C Am
The mill has shut down, ’twas the only life I know,
G F C
Tell me where will I go, tell me where will I go.
Chorus:
C Am
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
G F C
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
C Am
I’m too old to work and I’m too young to die,
G F C
Tell me where will I go now, my family and I.
Chorus:
C Am
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
G F C
As she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
