John Mc Leod 
     Bm        D/A 
I am young and poor 
       G       D/F#   G     Em 
And in Belfast I was  born 
    A 
Now here I stand 
       D         G 
With a gun in my hand 
     D        G      D 
On a cold and wintry morn 


[Verso 2]
 
        G     F#m        Bm      D/A 
Playing inner hopes that I would die 
     G         D/F#    G    Em 
I am cursed by one and all 
       A                     D        G 
But in Belfast town when the sun goes down 
      D     G       D 
There is no hope at all 



[Verso 3]
 
      D      F#m        Bm      D/A 
I can see my child only 9 years old 
    G        D/F#       G      Em 
Her mind all twisted in fear 
        A 
And the hate I hold 
        D            G 
For the men that con trol her 
   D         G     D 
Is more than I can bear

     G        F#m        Bm     D/A 
Many men have hopes that I will die 
     G         D/F#    G    Em 
I am cursed by one and all 
       A                     D        G 
But in Belfast town when the sun goes down 
      D     G       D 
There is no hope at all

 children’s eyes 
        Bm       D/A 
See the sun soon rise 
       G       D/F#      G     Em 
In the morning clear and cold 
        A 
And the flag that flies 
       D       G 
In the Belfast prize 
   D         G         D 
Be green and white and gold
