***** PJs Guitar Chords & Lyrics - http://www.guitarsongs.info ***** BELFAST CHILD SIMPLE MINDS D When my love said to me C - G D Meet me down by the gallow tree For it's sad news I bring About this old town and all that it's suffering Some say troubles abound Some day soon they gonna pull the old town down D One day we'll return here C G D When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again Brothers sisters where are you now As I look for you right through the crowd All my life here I've spent With my faith in God The Church and the Government But there's sadness abound Some day soon we're gonna pull the old town down One day we'll return here When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again Come back Billy won't you come on home Come back Mary you've been away so long The streets are empty and your mother's gone The girls are crying it's been oh so long And your father's calling come on home Won't you come on home Won't you come on home Come back people you've been gone a while And the war is raging through the Emerald Isle That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood And the girls are crying but all's not lost The streets are empty the streets are cold Won't you come on home Won't you come on home The streets are empty Life goes on One day we'll return here When the Belfast Child sings again Melody based on "She moved thru the fair" ( Trad ) ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
