       D                 Bm          D                   A
Well I thought she was a vision that stopped me with her smile

D           Bm       G               A
Down by the river we walked along in style

    D                   Bm             D               A
She says you're welcome back again and won't you stay awhile

Chorus

            D           G       A7
And when we dance we'll dance together

        A         A7        D
When we cry we'll hold each other

And when we love we'll love forever

I said who owns that music so full of joy and pain

         D              Bm              G               A
That the pipers and the harpers and the lambeg drummers play

    D                 Bm        D              A
She said who owns the teardrops falling in the rain

And do you not remember we once walked side by side

        D                Bm           G           A
And the bells of Belfast City sang in harmony and pride

    D                Bm            D                  A
The past it has been taken but the future's yours and mine
