[D]Jimmy I've [G]got it now
I'd [D]rather be [G]dead
Than [D]take what I'm g[G]iven
Or [C]eat what I'm [D]fed
[D]Well I can't [G]help myself
[D]Sometimes it's [G]true
But [D]nothing came [G]easy
for [C]me or for [D]you
Chorus
[C]You'll be a long time in the gr[G]ave
[C]And you can't live in the p[G]ast
[C]Let's lay down to r[G]est
All the [D]ghosts of Bel[G]fast
I've got my reasons
I've got my pride
My glass is half full
But it's cracked on the side
I wish I could take back
The things that I said
Never mind there's better times
Just up ahead
Chorus
You'll be a long time in the grave
And you can't live in the past
Let's lay down to rest
All the ghosts of Belfast
|[C]/ / / |[G]/ / / |
|[C]/ / / |[G]/ / / |
|[C]/ / / |[G]/ / / |
|[D]/ / / |[G]/ / / |
Maybe I've learned enough
Maybe I can reach
I wish I could practice
The things that I preach
It's hard to get on now
I've taken a belt
The hardest of all
Is to live with yourself
Chorus
You'll be a long time in the grave
And you can't live in the past
Let's lay down to rest
All the ghosts of Belfast
You'll be a long time in the grave
And you can't live in the past
Let's lay down to rest
All the ghosts of Belfast
