Belfast Song Lyrics And Chords By Barnbrack
Belfast is an Irish folk song about the City Of Belfast Co. Antrim.I have included an easy version of the guitar chords and I have also given the chords in the same key that the band Barnbrack sing the song in. That version is more difficult to play along with. Barnbrack also recorded many other songs from this site including Home Boys Home Song which is better known as a Dubliners song.
Of[G] all the[Dm] places I have[G] been[F] there's[C] only one that fills my[G] dream
The[G] place that[Dm] lingers in my[G] mind is[F] the town I've[D] left behind
I've been[G] away now for too[C] many years
I've read all the[D] papers they've told me of[G] your [D]tears
Though I've[G] left you with a heart that's[C] been torn
Im comming[D] home now to the place I[G] was[D] born
[Chorus]
That's[G] Bel[Em]fast you[C] call me when I[D] am far away I[G] think of[D] thee
Your black[G] moun[Em]tain Cave Hill ,[C] City[Am] Hall
Shaws bridge ,[D] River[D7] Lagan , I'm going home to [G]them[D] all
I'll meet friends and relations each one I'll embrace
We'll pass round the pictures which time cant erase
And it wont be long now 'till I see them all
And I'll walk round the old streets and good times I'll recall
The[G] place that[Dm] lingers in my[G] mind is[F] the town I've[D] left behind
I've been[G] away now for too[C] many years
I've read all the[D] papers they've told me of[G] your [D]tears
Though I've[G] left you with a heart that's[C] been torn
Im comming[D] home now to the place I[G] was[D] born
[Chorus]
That's[G] Bel[Em]fast you[C] call me when I[D] am far away I[G] think of[D] thee
Your black[G] moun[Em]tain Cave Hill ,[C] City[Am] Hall
Shaws bridge ,[D] River[D7] Lagan , I'm going home to [G]them[D] all
I'll meet friends and relations each one I'll embrace
We'll pass round the pictures which time cant erase
And it wont be long now 'till I see them all
And I'll walk round the old streets and good times I'll recall

Belfast Lyrics Without The Chords
Of all the places I have been there's only one that fills my dream
The place that lingers in my mind is the town I've left behind
I've been away now for too many years
I've read all the papers they've told me of your tears
Though I've left you with a heart that's been torn
Im coming home now to the place I was born
Chorus
That's Belfast you call me when I am far away I think of thee
Your black mountain Cave Hill , City Hall
Shaws bridge , River Lagan , I'm going home to them all
I'll meet friends and relations each one I'll embrace
We'll pass round the pictures which time cant erase
And it wont be long now 'till I see them all
And I'll walk round the old streets and good times I'll recall
Of all the places I have been there's only one that fills my dream
The place that lingers in my mind is the town I've left behind
I've been away now for too many years
I've read all the papers they've told me of your tears
Though I've left you with a heart that's been torn
Im coming home now to the place I was born
Chorus
That's Belfast you call me when I am far away I think of thee
Your black mountain Cave Hill , City Hall
Shaws bridge , River Lagan , I'm going home to them all
I'll meet friends and relations each one I'll embrace
We'll pass round the pictures which time cant erase
And it wont be long now 'till I see them all
And I'll walk round the old streets and good times I'll recall
