Fog Over Belfast

A D A Bm D E

AI Rose With The Dawn On A DGray BelfasAt Morning, TDhe Fog Wrapped The TerraEces Tight
The APavements Were Wet, And TheD Church Bells WerAe Warning, But No One WEas Out In AThe Light
The AShops Stayed On Shuttered, TheD Laughter HaAd Fled, TF#mhe Children Played Games With C#mNo Cheer
I DKnew From The Way That TheA Old WomeF#mn Said, That MorEe Broken Hearts WaitAed Here

CHORUS
So, Let The ATears Fall WhereD No One CaAn See, For TF#mhe Missing Who Never CaC#mme In
For The DPhotos That Gather TheirA Dust SileF#mntly, For ThBme Futures We NeverE Begin
The ADays Carry On But TheD Nights Hold ThAe Sting OfF#m A Voice That No Longer C#mReplies
And The DWind Through The AlleysA Knows EveF#mrything, SomBme AbsencEes Time Can’tA Disguise

They ATalked About Ceasefires AndD New StartsA Ahead, But TDhe Fear It Still Lived In EThe Walls
Every AMother Kept Vigil BDeside Her ColAd Bed, ListeniEng Close For AThe Call
A ACar Door Would Slam And TheD Breathing WoulAd Cease, TF#mhe Prayers Would Rise Up In TC#mhe Gloom
Then The DMorning Would Find OnlyA Memories AnF#md Peace ThaBmt Never QuiEte Filled Up AThe Room

CHORUS
So, Let The ATears Fall WhereD No One CaAn See, For TF#mhe Missing Who Never CaC#mme In
For The DPhotos That Gather TheirA Dust SileF#mntly, For ThBme Futures We Never EBegin
The ADays Carry On But TheD Nights Hold ThAe Sting OfF#m A Voice That No Longer C#mReplies
And The DWind Through The AlleysA Knows EveF#mrything, SomBme AbsencEes Time Can’tA Disguise

His ACap Hangs There Still On TheD Peg By ThAe Stair;D I Dust It Each Day WithEout Fail
I ASpeak To The Air Like He’sD Standing RighAt There, Telling Stories EOf How HeA Prevailed
They ASay I Should Let The OldD Sorrow SAubside, Find NF#mew Joy In The Life I HaC#mve Got
But I’d SurrDender The World Just ToA Have Him F#mBeside, FoBmr One Single Hour; That’s All That IA Want
The DRadios Chatter WithE News Of ThF#me Peace, ThAe PoliticiaC#mns Smile For DThe Lens
But At DHome The Pain Has ItsE Own Kind OF#mf Lease, IBmt Lives With Us Still;   My OAld Friend

CHORUS
So, Let The ATears Fall WhereD No One CaAn See, For TF#mhe Missing Who Never CaC#mme In
For The DPhotos That Gather TheirA Dust SileF#mntly, For ThBme Futures We NeverE Begin
If ToAmorrow Brings Calm To TheseD Troubled OlAd Shores, Let F#mIt Honor The Price That WC#mas Paid
For The DTrue Tale Of Ireland IsA Held In ThF#me Cores Of ThBme Families
Whose Life Had Been EDimmed; But NotA Slain

A D F#m Bm E A
