C     Am      F     G
I was born in Londonderry
Em    C       Am    F    G
I was born in Derry City too
   Em     Am      F
Oh what a special child
   G        Am         Em       G
To see such things and still to smile
  C         F         G         Am
I knew that there was something wrong
    C      F       G                Em   G
But I kept my head down and carried on

I grew up in Enniskillen
Em     C     Am   F          G
I grew up in Inis Ceithleann too
   Em     Am     F
Oh what a clever boy
   G          Am       Em    G
To watch your hometown be destroyed
  C         F       G        Am
I know that I could not stay long
   C      F       G                Em   G
So I kept my head down and carried on

Verse 3

    C           Am       F       G
Who cares where national borders lie?
    Em          C           Am       F
Who cares whose laws you're governed by?
    G          Em       Am     F
Who cares what name you call a town?
       F         G          F    G           C
Who'll care when you're six feet beneath the ground?

Verse 4

C        F      G     Am
From the corner of my eye
  C       F       G         Am
A hint of blue in the black sky
  C      F       G       Am
A ray of hope, a beam of light
   C      F      G        Am
An end to thirty years of night
    C            F         G        Am
The church bells ring, the children sing
     C       F           G         Am
What is this strange and beautiful thing?

It's the sunrise

Can you see the sunrise?
      Am      C         F    G    Am
I can see the sunrise
         C         F    G     Am    C
