Belfast chords by Elton John

Verse:
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   C   G
In every inch of sadness
     F
Rocks and tanks
  C        G
Go hand in hand with madness
   E       Am Em/G F  A  D
But I never saw a braver place, Belfast

Chorus::
    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      G
Every foot of this world
      F   A D
Needs an inch of Belfast

Verse:
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

Chorus:

  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
