Simple Minds - Belfast Child

                      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

Repeat chords for remaining verses

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
