C         F
I took a walk
                 C
With my guardian angel
               F
Through the streets
             C
Where I was born
             F
The painted wall
           C
Rose up around me
           G
From the Shankill
F       C
To the Falls

F
 Sha la la la la la la la
C                            G  F  C
 Sha la la la la la la la


In all the time
You entertain me
I broke my heart
I can recall
Till I threw the dice
And I kept my distance
From the Shankill
And the Falls

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la 

I know you're aching
To trust somebody
A spark of love
In everyone
From the Tigras Bay
To the silent barrio
From the Shankill
To the Falls
