[1]
At [C]the east end of town, at the [Am]foot of the hill,
There's a [G]chimney so tall, it [F]says Belfast [C]Mill.
But there's no smoke at all coming [Am]out of the stack,
For the [G]mill has shut down, and it's [F]never coming [C]back.
Chorus]
And the [C]only tune I [C]hear Is the [Am]sound of the wind,
As she [G]blows through the town, Weave and [F]spin, weave and [C]spin.
[2]
There's no [C]children playing in the [Am]dark narrow streets,
For the [G]mill has shut down, it's so [F]quiet, I can't [C]sleep.
And the [C]only tune I [Am]hear as the [G]night settles [F]in,
Is the [C]sound of the wind,
Weave and [G]spin, weave and [C]spin.
[3]
The [C]mill has shut down, 'twas the [Am]only life I know,
Tell me [G]where will I go, tell me [F]where will I [C]go.
Now I'm [C]too old to work and I'm [Am]too young to die,
Tell me [G]where will I go, [F]my family and [C]I.
