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