🤘 Verse 1:
      A augmentedA
I was born up on the North side

Where the Lagan River flows

I was following my nose

Dublin city '69
      B minorBm
There could have been no better place

There was no better time
            F# minorF#m             A augmentedA
Through the thunder and the rain
    B minorBm
The deepest blood of emeralds
    D MajorD       E MajorE          F# minorF#m
Was running through my veins

🤘 Verse 2:
      A augmentedA
I was down and out on Skid Row
      F# minorF#m
But I held on to my pride
    A augmentedA
The darkest son of Ireland
        F# minorF#m           E MajorE
He was standin' by my side
         F# minorF#m             A augmentedA
We would sail the stormy seas
B minorBm
Never looking back
         D MajorD                  E MajorE
We were afraid of what we'd see
            F# minorF#m             A augmentedA
Through the thunder and the rain
    B minorBm
The deepest blood of emeralds
    D MajorD       E MajorE           F# minorF#m
Was running through our veins

                   F# minorF#m
The strong will survive
C# minorC#m                E MajorE
   Some of us will fall
           D MajorD             A augmentedA        BB
Some of us won't get out of here alive

🤘 Bridge:
A augmentedA             E MajorE     F# minorF#m    E MajorE
 I was angry, I was sad
     D MajorD                  E MajorE
Just thinking about the times we had
A augmentedA                   E MajorE      F# minorF#m   E MajorE
 I felt so lost and lonely too
     D MajorD            E MajorE                 D MajorD
What could I say, what could I do?
                   E MajorE         F# minorF#m   D MajorD
And after all, the time goes by
                 C#7C#7     F# minorF#m    E MajorE
No one knows the reasons why
    D MajorD              E MajorE                   F# minorF#m       E MajorE
You lived each day like there was no tomorrow
    D MajorD                 E MajorE                  F# minorF#m        E MajorE
You spent those years living on time you borrowed
    D MajorD             C# minorC#m                 F# minorF#m
And in your eyes, all I could see was sorrow

🤘 Chorus:
C# minorC#m                E MajorE                    A augmentedA
   Some of us will win, some of us will lose
                  F# minorF#m
The strong will survive
C# minorC#m                 BB
    Some of us will fall
           D MajorD             A augmentedA        B minorBm
Some of us won't get out of here alive
