[VERSE 1]
        n.c.
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


[PRE-CHORUS]
         Cadd9   G D
Some say troubles abound
         Cadd9              G                 D
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down


[CHORUS 1]
              G      D
One day we'll return here
         C       G            D
When the Belfast Child sings again

[VERSE 2]
          n.c.                   D
Brothers, sisters, where are you now?
     Cadd9       G                  D
As I look for you right through the crowd
       Cadd9    G     D
All my life here I've spent
        G7sus4            G                     D
With my faith in God, the Church, and the Government


[PRE-CHORUS]
         Cadd9   G D
Some say troubles abound
         Cadd9              G                 D
Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down


[CHORUS 2]
              G      D
One day we'll return here
         Am7     G                 D  C G  D
When the Belfast Child sings again
         Am7     G            D       C G
When the Belfast Child sings again

[BRIDGE 1]
            Cadd9  G                         D
So come back Billy, won't you come on home?
          Cadd9 G                            D
Come back Mary,  you've been away so long
                Cadd9 G                      D
The streets are empty, and your mother's gone
              Cadd9  G                       D
The girls are crying, it's been, oh, so long 
                  Cadd9   G                  D
And your father's calling, come on home

Won't you come on home?  Come on home

Oh come on people,   you've been gone a while
               Cadd9  G                           D
And the war is raging, through the Emerald Isle
                 Cadd9     G                      D
That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood
                  Cadd9 G                         D
All the girls are crying but all's not lost
                Cadd9 G                           D
The streets are empty, the streets are cold
                  Cadd9 G                         D
Won't you come on home?  Won't you come on home

When the Belfast Child sings again
