verse 1 

C     F       Am    G 
I was born in Londonderry 
Em    Am      F     G    Em 
I was born in Derry City too 
   C      Am     F 
Oh what a special child 
   Dm       Am         C        G 
To see such things and still to smile 
  C         F         G         F 
I knew that there was something wrong 
    C       F      G        F       Em      G G7 
But I kept my head down and carried on 


verse 2 

C      F     Am   G 
I grew up in Enniskillen 
Em     Am    F    G          Em 
I grew up in Inis Ceithleann too 
   C      Am     F 
Oh what a clever boy 
   Dm         Am       C    G 
To watch your hometown be destroyed 
  C         F       G        F    
I knew that I would not stay long 
   C      F       G        F       Em       G G7 
So I kept my head down and carried on 


verse 3 

    C           F        Am      G 
Who cares where national borders lie 
Em              Am          F        G 
Who cares whose laws you're governed by 
    G          Em       Am     F 
Who cares what name you call a town 
       Dm        Em         F      G         C 
Who'll care when you're six feet beneath the ground

verse 4 

C        F      G     F 
From the corner of my eye 
  C       F       G         F 
A hint of blue in the black sky 
  C      F       G       F 
A ray of hope, a beam of light 
   C      F      G        F 
An end to thirty years of night 
    C            F         G        F 
The church-bells ring, the children sing 
     C       F           G         F 
What is this strange and beautiful thing 
         C   F         G 
It's the sunri----------se 
        F       C   F           G 
Can you see the sunri---------se? 
      F       C    F        G 
I can see the sunri----------se, 
      F       C    F      G    F 
I can see the sunri------------sing
