Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Whe[C]n m[G]y l[D]ove[G] sa[D]id to me[C][D]
Meet me down [C]by the gal[D]low tree
For it's [C]sad news [D]I bring
About this old [C]town an[D]d all its suffering
Some say troubles abound
Someday [C]soon they're gonna
[G]tear the old [D]town down
One day we'll re[G]turn here
[D]When the Bel[C]fast Chi[D]ld sings
[C]again[G][D]
Brothers, [C]sisters, where are [D]you now
As I [C]look for you right [D]through the crowd
All my [C]life [G]here I've [D]spent
With my [C]faith in God,
the [D]church and the government
Some say [C]troubles are [D]bound
Some this [C]soon are gonna pull the
old [D]town down
One day we'll re[G]turn [D]here
When the [C]Belfast child [G]sing[D]s a[C]gain[G]
[D]

[Verse 2]
So come back, [C]Minnie,
[G]won't you come on home
[D]Come back, Mar[C]y,
[G]you've been away too [D]long
The streets are [C]empty
an[G]d your mother's g[D]one
The girls are [C]crying,
[G]it's been oh so [D]long
Come back [C]people,
[G]well you've been gone a whi[D]le
And the war is ra[C]ging [G]in the Emerald [D]Isle
The streets are [C]empty,
[G]the other streets are [D]cold
Won't you come [C]on home,
[G]please come on [D]home
Come on [C]home,
[G]won't you come on [D]home
The streets are [C]empty[D]
[C]Life goes [D]on[C][G][D][C][G][D]
One day we'll re[G]turn [D]here
When the [C]Belfast Child sing[D]s again
When [C]the Belfast [D]Child [C]sing[D]s again
you
