Verse 1
G
In my memory
D
C
G
I will always see
C
G
D
The town that I have loved so well
G
D
Where our schools played ball by
C
G
The gas yard wall and
C
we laughed through the
G
D
G
Smoke and the smell going
Em
D
home in the rain
G
Em
Running up the dark lane
C
Am
Past the jail and down
D
behind the fountain
G
D
C
Those were happy days in so many,
G
many ways
C
G
D
G
In the town I loved so well
Verse 2
G
D
C
In the early morning the shirt-
G
factory horn
C
G
Called women from Craigeen
D
The Moor and the Bog
G
D
While the men on the dole
C
G
Played the mother's role
C
G
Fed the children and then
D
G
watched the dogs
Em
D
And when times got rough there
G
Em
Was just about enough
C
Am
But they saw it through
D
without complaining
G
D
C
G
For deep inside was a burning pride
C
G
D
G
C
G
For the town I loved so well
D
C
G
There was music there in the Derry air
C
G
Like a language that we
C
D
could all understand
G
D
I remember the day that I
C
G
earned my first pay
C
G
D
G
When I played in the small pick- up band
Em
D
There I spent my youth and
G
D
Em
To tell you the truth
C
Am
D
I was sad to leave it all behind me
G
D
For I'd learned 'bout life and
C
G
I've found a wife
C
G
D
G
In the town I loved so well
Verse 3
G
But when I returned,
D
C
G
how my eyes have burned
C
G
To see how a town could
D
Be brought to it's knees
G
D
By the armoured cars and
C
G
the bombed- out bars
C
And the gas that hangs
G
D
G
on to every breeze
Em
D
Now the army's installed by
G
D
Em
That old gasyard wall
C
Am
And the damned barbed wire
D
Gets higher and higher
G
D
With their tanks and their guns,
C
oh, my god
G
What have they done
C
G
D
G
To the town I loved so well
Verse 4
G
D
C
G
Now the music's gone but I still carry on
C
G
For their spirit's been bruised
D
G
D
Never broken they will not forget for
C
G
Their hearts are aset
C
G
D
G
On tomorrow and peace once again
Em
D
For what's done is done and
G
D
Em
What's won is won
C
Am
And what's lost is lost
D
and gone forever
G
D
C
G
I can only pray for a bright brand new day
C
G
D
G
In the town I
loved so well
the town i loved so well
