Not sure if anybody outside of Northern Ireland even knows this song but for those of you who do enjoy!
Strumming isn't to difficult to work out. This is my first go at putting something on here so go easy on me.

Intro G C F C G

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

Light of the Belfast moon

G
Theres nobody left here that works at the docks its all
C F
urban renewal and apartment blocks
C G C
Summer is fading winter will be coming soon

G C F
The walls in the city have a lot to say about the UVF and the IRA
C G C
its cold by the river but the sky is full of stars
G
But these walls say nothing bout who i am
C F
When I'm singin in the garden at the Rotterdam
C G C
Doing brown eyed girl and whisky in the jar


Em
And i know
F C
There tearing it down street by street
Em
Look out below
F G
There goes the ground beneath your feet

G
Elaine's mother thinks I'm some kinda crook
C F
As she meets me at the door with a dirty look
C G C
My welcome round there is starting to wear thin
G
Because i promised everybody i'd knuckle down
C F
But my grades weren't good enough this time round
C G C
All my time runs out in the end

Em
And i know
F C
There tearing it down street by street
Em
Look out below
F G
There goes the ground beneath your feet

G
Me i can't wait to be rid of school
C F
But Elaine's got a place in Liverpool
C G C G
By the time September comes she'll be gone
G
She says she'll text me everyday
C F
But that's something she feel's she has to say
C G C G
She'll call me once at Christmas then move on

G
Me and Elaine we've been hanging around
C F C
In what was once Sailortown
