The Last House In Our Street

[Verso 1] G C G The last house in our street is the one we are living in. G C Em D7 Throw the ball against the wall and back to me. G C G All the other windows have concrete curtains. G D7 G Open up your eyes and tell me what you see. [Verso 2] G C G The flowers in our garden are made of bricks and broken glass. G C Em D7 Throw the ball against the wall and back to me. G C G And ‘round the back we’re growing an outside toilet. G D7 G Open up your eyes and tell me what you see. [Verso 3] G C G Wee Albert Mooney was blinded by a petrol bomb. G C Em D7 Throw the ball against the wall and back to me. G C G The bomber said, we’re sorry, it must have been an accident. G D7 G Open up your eyes and tell me what you see. [Verso 4] G C G A big rubber bullet killed little Johnny Morrisey. G C Em D7 Throw the ball against the wall and back to me. G C G A policeman fired it, it must have been an accident. G D7 G Open up your eyes and tell me what you see. [Verso 5] G C G God made the world, and Belfast is part of it. G C Em D7 Throw the ball against the wall and back to me. G C G Sometimes I wonder if Belfast was an accident. G D7 G Open up your eyes and tell me what you see. [Verso 6] G C G There’s a wall, there is, between us and them, there is. G C Em D7 Throw the ball against the wall and back to me. G C G Is there anyone can tell me that they didn’t help in building it? G D7 G Open up your eyes and tell me what you see. [Verso 7] G C G But the eyes of the world have concrete curtains. G C Em D7 Throw the ball against the wall and back to me. G C G Would you tear down the wall, would you open up the windows. G D7 G Would you open up your eyes and tell me what you see.
