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
