      C  G  D  C9  G/B  D 
      C9  G/B  D 

                     D   
When my love said to me 
        C   G              D 
Meet me down by the gallow tree 
         C       G  D 
For it's sad news I bring 
              G7sus4   G                 D  
About this old town and all that it's offering 
         C9      G D  
Some say troubles abound 
        C9                 G                 D 
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down 

              G      D 
One day we'll return here 
         C       G            D 
When the belfast child sings again 

( C  G  D ) 

                               D 
Brothers sisters where are you now 
     C9           G                  D 
As I look for you right through the crowd 
       C9       G     D 
All my life here I've spent 
       C9            G                     D 
With my faith in God the church and the government 
            C9     G D 
But there's sadness abound 
        C9                 G                 D 
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down 

             G      D 
One day we'll return here 
        C     G             D    C  G  D 
When the belfast child sings again 
        C     G             D    C  G  D 
When the belfast child sings again

              C9     G                      D 
Some come back billy, won't you come on home 
         C9    G                        D 
Come back mary, you've been away so long 
               C9     G                      D 
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone 
             C9      G                    D 
The girls are crying, it's been oh so long 
                 C9       G            D 
And your father's calling, come on home 
                 C9    G                      D 
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home

Come back people, you've been gone a while 
              C9      G                   D 
And the war is raging, in the emerald isle 
                C9         G                      D 
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood 
                 C9     G                  D 
All the girls are crying but all's not lost 
               C9     G                    D 
The streets are empty, the streets are cold 
                 C9    G                      D 
Won't you come on home, won't you come on home 

( C9  G  D ) 

C9            G        D 
  The streets are empty 

C G/B             D 
     Life goes on 

( C9  G  D  C  G  D ) 
( D  G  D  C  G  D ) 

               G    D  
One day we'll return here 
        C       G                D  C  G  D  
When the belfast child sings again 
        C       G                D  C  G  D  
When the belfast child sings again
