Birds Of Belfast

Em G Em7 D Cmaj7 A D Em7 D C D The field grew wild all that buzzing summer G Em7 D Cmaj7 We dozed a while, woke a little younger D Am7 D C D Hung your clothes, waited on the weather G Em7 D Cmaj7 D Thorn and rose twine and grow together G Em7 When did all the birds of Belfast learn to sing your name? C D When did all those silver ashes breathe into flame? G D Em7 Who are you without your sadness? Who am I without my shame? C G D G When did all the birds of Belfast learn to sing your name? G Em7 C D G Em7 D C Which was right, the fight or the surrender? G Em7 D C You my light, my solitary mender G Em7 D C Still the sun will rise on every weeper's mourning G Em7 D C Tear stained eyes, pearly light adorning G Em7 When did all the birds of Belfast learn to sing your name? C D When did all those silver ashes breathe into flame? G Em7 Who are you without your sadness? Who am I without my shame? C D When did all the birds of Belfast learn? G Em7 Who am I to sing a love song? Who are you to do the same? C D With our weary little hearts full of broken little claims? G Em7 Will they even recognize us? Should I give you a new name? C D C D And then all the birds of Belfast would sing it Cmaj7 D Sing it C D C D C D C D C D C D C D C
