Verse 1
D

my memory I will always see
G
C
G

The town that I have loved so well
D
C
G
Where a school played ball
C
G
by the old gas yard wall
C
And we laughed through
G
C
G
the smoke and the smell
C
D
Going home in the rain
G
C
Running off the dark lane
Past the jail and down
D
behind the fountain
C
G
Those were happy days
D
C
In so many, many ways
D
G
C
G

In the town I loved so well
G
D
C
In the early morning a shirt
G
-backed tree -horn
C
G
Called the women from Creggan,
Dsus4
the moor and the bog
D
G
D
While the men on the dole
C
G
played a mother's role,
C
G
D
G
fed the children and then walked the dog.
C
D
And when times got tough,
G
D
Em
well there was just about enough,
D
C
Am
but they saw it through
G
D
without complaining.
G
D
C
For deep inside was a burning pride
Dsus4
G
C
G
D
G
For the town I loved so well
D
There was music there in
C
Dsus4
the dairy air
D
C
G
Like a language that we all
Dsus4
D
could understand
G
D
I remember the day that I
C
D
earned my first pay,
Dsus4
C
G
when I played in a small
D
G
C
pick -up band.
G
C
D
There I spent my youth,
G
Em
and to tell you the truth,
D
C
Am
C
D
I was sad to leave it all behind me.
G
D
For I learned about life,
C
Em
and it found me a wife

Their spirit's been bruised,

They will not forget

On tomorrow and peace once again
