[Verse 1]
[G]From Belfast
town I'm [D]on [G]my way
On [Am]a ship that was built
[G]for the tou[C]rist tra[D]de
I [G]leave my friends in [C]the land
that I was [G]born
And I won't come [C]back
till my for[D]tune is [C]made
For I've [G]served my time
with the [C]iron [D]men
I've [G]known good times and [C]work aplenty
[D]But there's [G]no work now
in [C]these troubled [D]times,
And the [C]shipyard's [Am]lips [C]lie [D]empty.
Oh, [G]farewell, father, my [D]mother,
[G]Fair old [D]age has [G]laid its hand
[C]all [D]along you.
You've [G]loved me well, you never failed,
And it's leaving your [C]lands
my [D]heart to [C]do.
For I've [G]served my time
with the [C]Iron [D]Men,
I've [G]known good times and [C]work aplenty,
[D]But there's [G]no work now
in these [C]troubled [D]times
And the [C]shipyard's lips lie [D]empty[G][C][G]
[C][Am][C][D][G][C][D]
[G][D][G][C][Am][C][D]
I remem[G]ber the mountains,
the fresh [D]north [G]air
I remember the girl with the [C]friendly [D]stare
I [G]think of the city
and the friend[C]s that I have t[G]here
And I hope with my love
[C]she will sen[D]d me a smi[C]le
For I've [G]served my time
with the [C]iron [D]man
I've [G]known good times
and [C]work [D]aplenty
But there's [G]no work now
in [C]these troubled [D]times
And this [C]shipyard's [Am]lips lie [D]empty
I am go[G]ing away to look for work,
but I live for the day [C]of my return[D]in'
To a [G]job at home and peace of mind,
for those Belfast people
[C]I'll alw[D]ays be ear[C]nin'
For I've [G]served my time
with the [C]Iron [D]Man
I've [G]known good times and [C]work aplenty
[D]But there's [G]no work now
in these [C]troubled [D]times
And the [C]shipyard's a little by [D]empty
For I've [G]served my time
with the [C]Iron [D]Man
I've [G]known good times and [C]learned plenty
[D]But there's [G]no one now
in these [C]troubled [D]times
And the [C]shipyard's [Am]lips [C]lie [D]empty you
