[G]Me and Elaine we've been hanging around in
[C]What was once
[F]Sailor town drinking
[C]Cheap red wine by the

Light of the Belfast moon

[C]urban renewal and a[F]partment blocks
[C]Summer is fading w[G]inter will be coming soon[C]
[G]The walls in the city have a lot to say about the [C]UVF and the [F]IRA

There goes the [F]ground beneath your fee[G]t
[G]Elaine's mother thinks I'm some kinda crook
As she[C] meets me at the door with a d[F]irty look
My [C]welcome round there is [G]starting to wear [C]thin
Because i[G] promised everybody i'd knuckle down
But my [C]grades weren't good enough this [F]time round
