capo 2nd fret
C
At the east end of town
Am
At the foot of the hill
G
There's a chimney so tall
F C
It says Belfast Mill.
C
But there's no smoke at all
Am
Coming out of the stack
G
For the mill has shut down
F C
And is never coming back.
C
And the only tune I hear
Am
Is the sound of the wind
G
As she blows through the town
F C
Weave and spin, weave and spin.
C
There's no children playing
Am
In the dark narrow streets
G
And the loom has shut down
F C
It's so quiet I can't sleep.
C
The mill has shut down
Am
'twas the only life I know
G
Tell me where will I go
F C
Tell me where will I go.
C
And the only tune I hear
Am
Is the sound of the wind
G
As she blows through the town
F C
Weave and spin, weave and spin.
C
I'm too old to work
Am
And I'm too young to die
G
Tell me where will I go now
F C
My family and I.
