Stephen chords by David Ford

Chords with lyrics

Stephen the flags are half mast at the station
        Cadd9Cadd9          G+G
There's a cloud hanging over this town
  G+G                Dsus2Dsus2
The wind blows apology the sun looks ashamed
   Cadd9Cadd9       Bm7Bm7
As he hides out behind Portadown

  C majorC              Dsus2Dsus2
And out there are children still raised on old anger
  G+G                 C majorC
To believe there's a reason to fight
   G+G        Dsus2Dsus2 Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
But a piece of land's only a piece of land
  Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus2Dsus2    E minorEm
And you will not come home tonight

G+G          Dsus2Dsus2
Stephen the uniform visitors
   Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
Unexpectedly late yesterday
 G+G          Dsus2Dsus2
I opened the door to a man and a woman
   Cadd9Cadd9             Bm7Bm7
Oh I knew what they'd come here to say

C majorC          Dsus2Dsus2
I've never seen any darkness so deep
    G+G               C majorC
As the moment when I clicked off the light
G+G         Dsus2Dsus2 Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
A augmentedA piece of land's only a piece of land
  Cadd9Cadd9    Dsus2Dsus2    E minorEm
And you will not come home tonight

A minorAm  C majorC  E minorEm
Oh...
A minorAm  C majorC  E minorEm
Oh...

G+G            Dsus2Dsus2
Stephen the paper's been filled with your picture
  Cadd9Cadd9              G+G
It seems the whole world knows your name
  G+G              Dsus2Dsus2
And would you believe there was Martin McGuinness
  Cadd9Cadd9            Bm7Bm7
Out condemning these bastards to blame

  C majorC            Dsus2Dsus2
Oh I've never seen so much orange and green
    G+G             C majorC
Come together on a thin strip of white
    G+G        Dsus2Dsus2 Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
Still a piece of land's only a piece of land
  Cadd9Cadd9    Dsus2Dsus2    E minorEm
And you will not come home tonight
 G+G        Dsus2Dsus2 Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
A augmentedA piece of land's only a piece of land
  Cadd9Cadd9    Dsus2Dsus2    G+G
