[Intro]
G D7 C G
C Am D D7
[Verse 1]
G D7 C G
In my memory I will always see
C G G D
The town that I have loved so well
G D7 C G
Where our school played ball by the Gas-yard wall
C G D G Gsus4 G
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell
C D G G/F# Em7
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane
C C/B Am7 D D7
Past the jail and down behind the fountain
G D7 C G
Those were happy days, in so many, many ways
C G D G Gsus4 G
In the town I loved so well
[Verse 2]
G D7 C G
In the early morning the Shirt Factory horn
C G G D
Called women from Graigeen, The Moor and The Bog
G D7 C G
While the men on the dole played a mother's role
C G D G
Fed the children, and then walked the dogs
C D G Em7
And when times got tough there was just about enough
C Am7 D D7
But they saw it through without complaining
G D7 C G
For deep inside was a burning pride
C G D G
For the town I love so well
[Verse 3]
G D7 C G
There was music there in the Derry air
C G G D
Like a language that we all could understand
G D7 C G
I remember the day that I earned my first pay
C G D G
When I played in a small pick-up band
C D G Em7
There I spent my youth, and to tell you the truth
C Am7 D D7
I was sad to leave it all behind me
G D7 C G
For I'd learned about life and I'd found me a wife
C G D G
In the town I loved so well
[Verse 4]
G D7 C G
But when I returned, how my eyes have burned
C G G D
To see how a town could be brought to its knees
G D7 C G
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
C G D G
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
C D G Em7
Now the army is installed by the old Gas-yard wall
C Am7 D D D7
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
G D7 C G
With their tanks and their guns, oh my God what have they done
C G D G
To the town I love so well
[Verse 5]
G D7 C G
Now the music's gone, but they carry on
C G G D
For their spirit's been bruised, but never broken
G D7 C G
They will not forget for their hearts are all set
C G D G
On tomorrow, and peace once again
C D G Em7
For what's done is done, and what's won is won
C Am7 D D D7
And what's lost is lost and gone forever
G D7 C G
I can only pray for a bright brand new day
C G D G
In the town I love so well
