Elton John – Belfast (Guitar)

D       Am
Deep inside

   C             G
My soul fights a war

        F
I can't explain

              C         G
I can't cross over anymore

E      Am      C     G
All I see are dirty faces

         F
Rain and wire

     C               G
And common sense in pieces

       E                 Am Em/G F     A  D
But I try to see through Irish   eyes, Belfast

D       Am
Look outside

C                 G
Summer's lost and gone

       F
It's a long walk

               C         G
On a street of right and wrong

E                Am
In every inch of sadness

C         G
Rocks and tanks

   F       C         G
Go hand in hand with madness

      E           Am Em/G F      A  D
But I never saw a braver  place, Belfast

        G              D
And its sad when they sing

    Am           Em
And hollow ears listen

    G             D
Of smoking black roses

        Am           Em
On the streets of Belfast

    C            G
And so say your lovers

     Dm7       Am
From under the flowers

       C           Bb/G
Every foot of this world

           F      A  D
Needs an inch of Belfast

D       Am
Who's to say

   C             G
On whom Heaven smiles

        F
Our different ways

              C         G
We try hard to recognise

E      Am      C     G
No more enchanted evenings

         F
The pubs are closed

     C               G
And all the ghosts are leaving

       E                     Am Em/G F   A   D
But you'll never let them shut you down, Belfast

    E  Bm    D       A
The enemy is not at home

          G5
A jealous green

F5       D5              A         Asus4     A
Streaks down this faulty diamond

      F#    Bm      D    A
No bloody boots or crucifix

         G                  D        A
Can ever hope to split this emerald island

       F#         Bm F#m/A G
But I never saw a braver place

 E  Am Em/G  F  A D
 Belfast
