Fog Over Belfast

E A E F#m A B

EI Rose With The Dawn On A AGray BelfasEt Morning, TAhe Fog Wrapped The TerraBces Tight
The EPavements Were Wet, And TheA Church Bells WerEe Warning, But No One WBas Out In EThe Light
The EShops Stayed On Shuttered, TheA Laughter HaEd Fled, TC#mhe Children Played Games With G#mNo Cheer
I AKnew From The Way That TheE Old WomeC#mn Said, That MorBe Broken Hearts WaitEed Here

CHORUS
So, Let The ETears Fall WhereA No One CaEn See, For TC#mhe Missing Who Never CaG#mme In
For The APhotos That Gather TheirE Dust SileC#mntly, For ThF#me Futures We Never BBegin
The EDays Carry On But TheA Nights Hold ThEe Sting OfC#m A Voice That No Longer G#mReplies
And The AWind Through The AlleysE Knows EveC#mrything, SomF#me AbsenceBs Time Can’t EDisguise

They ETalked About Ceasefires AndA New StartsE Ahead, But TAhe Fear It Still Lived In BThe Walls
Every EMother Kept Vigil BAeside Her ColEd Bed, ListeniBng Close For EThe Call
A ECar Door Would Slam And TheA Breathing WoulEd Cease, TC#mhe Prayers Would Rise Up In TG#mhe Gloom
Then The AMorning Would Find OnlyE Memories AnC#md Peace ThaF#mt Never QuitBe Filled Up TEhe Room

CHORUS
So, Let The ETears Fall WhereA No One CaEn See, For TC#mhe Missing Who Never CaG#mme In
For The APhotos That Gather TheirE Dust SileC#mntly, For ThF#me Futures We Never BBegin
The EDays Carry On But TheA Nights Hold ThEe Sting OfC#m A Voice That No Longer G#mReplies
And The AWind Through The AlleysE Knows EveC#mrything, SomF#me AbsenceBs Time Can’t EDisguise

His ECap Hangs There Still On TheA Peg By ThEe Stair;A I Dust It Each Day WithBout Fail
I ESpeak To The Air Like He’sA Standing RighEt There, Telling Stories BOf How HeE Prevailed
They ESay I Should Let The OldA Sorrow SEubside, Find NC#mew Joy In The Life I HaG#mve Got
But I’d SurrAender The World Just ToE Have Him C#mBeside, FoF#mr One Single Hour; That’s All That I EWant
The ARadios Chatter WithB News Of ThC#me Peace, ThEe PoliticiaG#mns Smile For AThe Lens
But At AHome The Pain Has ItsB Own Kind OC#mf Lease, IF#mt Lives With Us Still;   My OlEd Friend

CHORUS
So, Let The ETears Fall WhereA No One CaEn See, For TC#mhe Missing Who Never CaG#mme In
For The APhotos That Gather TheirE Dust SileC#mntly, For ThF#me Futures We Never BBegin
If ToEmorrow Brings Calm To TheseA Troubled OlEd Shores, Let C#mIt Honor The Price That WG#mas Paid
For The ATrue Tale Of Ireland IsE Held In ThC#me Cores Of ThF#me Families
Whose Life Had Been BDimmed; But NotE Slain
