🤘 Verse 1:
      A
I was born up on the North side
          F#m
Where the Lagan River flows
       A
When I came across the border
      F#m          E
I was following my nose
       F#m    A
Dublin city '69
      Bm
There could have been no better place
          D         E
There was no better time
            F#m             A
Through the thunder and the rain
    Bm
The deepest blood of emeralds
    D       E          F#m
Was running through my veins

Blood of emeralds


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


🤘 Chorus: 
C#m                E                       A
   Some of us will win and some of us will lose
                   F#m
The strong will survive
C#m                E
   Some of us will fall
           D             A        B
Some of us won't get out of here alive

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

The strong will survive
