The (D)last house in our street is the (G)one that we are (D)living in
Throw the ball a(Bm)gainst the wall and (G)back to (A)me
(D)All the other windows have (G)concrete (D)curtains
Open up your (Bm)eyes and (A7)tell me what you (D)see
 
The (D)flowers in our garden are (G)made of bricks and (D)broken glass
Throw the ball a(Bm)gainst the wall and (G)back to (A)me
And (D)’round the back we’re growing an (G)outside (D)toilet
Open up your (Bm)eyes and (A7)tell me what you (D)see
 
(D)Wee Albert Mooney was (G)blinded by a (D)petrol bomb
Throw the ball a(Bm)gainst the wall and (G)back to (A)me
The (D)bomber said, we’re sorry, it (G)must have been an (D)accident
Open up your (Bm)eyes and (A7)tell me what you (D)see
 
A (D)big rubber bullet killed (G)little Johnny (D)Morrisey
Throw the ball a(Bm)gainst the wall and (G)back to (A)me
A po(D)liceman fired it, it (G)must have been an (D)accident
Open up your (Bm)eyes and (A7)tell me what you (D)see
 
(D)God made the world, and (G)Belfast is a part of (D)it
Throw the ball a(Bm)gainst the wall and (G)back to (A)me
(D)Sometimes I wonder if (G)Belfast was an (D)accident
Open up your (Bm)eyes and (A7)tell me what you (D)see
 
There’s a (D)wall, so there is, bet(G)ween us and (D)them, there is
Throw the ball a(Bm)gainst the wall and (G)back to (A)me
Is there (D)anyone can tell me that they (G)didn’t help in (D)building it
Open up your (Bm)eyes and (A7)tell me what you (D)see
 
But the (D)eyes of the world have (G)concrete (D)curtains
Throw the ball a(Bm)gainst the wall and (G)back to (A)me
Would you (D)tear down the wall, would you (G)open up the (D)windows
Open up your (Bm)eyes and (A7)tell me what you (D)see
