(C major) (D major) (C minor) (C major) (D major)
Verse 1
In (F minor) my
(C major) memory (G major) I will (F major) always see (C major)
The (F major) town that (C major) I (G major) have (C major) loved so well (G major)
Where our (C major) school played (G major) ball
by the (F major) gas yard (C major) wall
And we (F major) laughed through the
(G major) smoke and the (C major) smell
Running (F major) home (C major) in the (F major) rain,
going (G major) up the dark (A minor) lane,
(G major) past the (F major) jail,
and (D minor) down behind the (G major) fountain.
Those were (C major) happy days (G major) in so (F major) many (C major) ways,
in the (F major) town I (G major) loved so well. (C major) (D major) (F minor)
(F minor) In (F major) the (C major) early (G major) morning,
(F major) the shirt factory horn
(C major) called (F major) women from Creggan, (C major)
(G major) the (C major) whore and the (G major)
While the (C major) men on the (G major) dole
played a (F major) mother's (C major) role,
fed the (F major) children and then walked (G major) the (C major) dog.
(F major) And when (C major) times got (F major) tough,
there was (G major) just about enough, (A minor)
(G major) but they (F major) saw it through (D minor) without
compromise. plenty. (G major)
Far (C major) deep in (G major) side was a (F major) burning pride
(C major) in the (D major) town I (G major) love so well. (C major)
There was music there (D major) in the (F major) derriere, (C major)
like a (F major) language that we (C major) all
could under (F major) stand.
(G major) I remember (C major) the (D major) day when
I earned (F major) my first (C major) pay,
when I (F major) played in a small (G major) pick -up band. (C major)
There I (A minor) spent my youth, (G major)
and to (F major) tell (G major) you the (A minor) truth,
(C major) I was (F major) sad to leave (D minor) it (F major) all be (G major) hind me
For I'd (C major) learned about life (D major)
And I'd (F major) found a (C major) wife
In the (F major) town I love (G major) so well (C major) (G major)
(F major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
But when I returned,
how my eyes were burned
To see how a town
could be brought to its knees.
With the armored cars
and the bombed -out bombs
and the gas that hangs
on to every breeze.
Now the (A minor) army's in (G major) store
by the (F major) gas (G major) yard (A minor) wall
And the (D minor) damned barbed wire
gets higher and (G major) higher
With their (C major) tanks and guns,
oh my (F major) God, what
Have they done to the town I
(C major) love (G major) so well? (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) Now the music's gone, but they carry on
For their spirit's been bruised,
never broken
They (G major) (C major) (G major) will (C major) not forget, (G major)
but their (F major) hearts are all (C major) set on to (F major) morrow
and peace (G major) once again. (C major)
For (G major) what's (C major) done is (F major) done,
(F minor) and what's (G major) won is won, (A minor)
(C major) and what's (F major) lost (Aaug) is
(D minor) lost and (F major) gone forever (G major) .
I can (C major) only pray (D major) for a (F major) bright brand new day. (C major)
In the (F major) town I (D major) love (G major) so well (C major) (G major)
(F major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
you
