GStephen the flags are half Dsus2mast at the station
There's a cloud Cadd9hanging over this townG  
The Gwind blows apology the sun looks Dsus2ashamed
As he Cadd9hides out behind PBm7ortadown
And Cout there are children still Dsus2raised on old anger 
To Gbelieve there's a reason to fightC  
But a Gpiece of land's Dsus2only a Cadd9piece of lanGd
And Cadd9you wilDsus2l not come hEmome tonight
GStephen the uniform Dsus2visitors 
UnexpCadd9ectedly late yesterGday
I Gopened the door to a Dsus2man and a woman
Oh I Cadd9knew what they'd come here to Bm7say
CI've never seen any Dsus2darkness so deep
As the Gmoment when I clicked off the Clight
GA piece of land's Dsus2only a Cadd9piece of landG  
And Cadd9you will not Dsus2come home tonEmight
AmOh...C  Em  
AmOh...C  Em  
GStephen the paper's been Dsus2filled with your picture
It Cadd9seems the whole world knows your Gname
And Gwould you believe there was Dsus2Martin McGuinness
Out Cadd9condemning these bastards to Bm7blame
Oh CI've never seen so much Dsus2orange and green
Come toGgether on a thin strip of Cwhite
Still a Gpiece of land's Dsus2only a Cadd9piece of landG  
And Cadd9you will not Dsus2come home tonEmight
A Gpiece of land's Dsus2only a Cadd9piece of landG  
And Cadd9you will not Dsus2come home tonGight
