Verse 1
F
C
In my
G
F
memory I will always see
C
F
C
G
The town that I have loved so well
C
G
Where our school played ball
F
C
by the gas -yard wall
F
And they laughed through the
C
G
C
smoke and the smell
F
G
Going home in the rain
C
G
Am
Running up the dark lane
F
Dm
Past the jail and down
G
behind the fountain
Bdim
C
G
Those were happy days
F
C
In so many, many ways,
F
C
G
C
in the town I loved so well
G
In the early morning,
F
C
the shirt factory horn
F
C
Called wo men from Craigendon,
G
the morn and the bog
C
G
While the men on the dole
F
C
played a mother's role
F
C
Fed the children and then
G
C
G
Am
walked the dog
G
F
G
And when times got tough,
C
G
Am
there was just about enough
G
F
Dm
And they saw it through
G
without complaining
C
G
F
C
For deep inside was a burning pride
F
C
G
C
In the town I loved so well
Am
G
C
G
F
There was music there in the derriere
C
F
C
Like a language that we
G
all could understand
C
G
I remember the day that I
F
C
earned my first pay
F
C
G
C
F
When I played in a small pick -up band
G
F
G
There I spent my youth,
C
G
Am
and to tell you the truth
G
F
Dm
G
Am
G
I was sad to leave it all be hind me
C
G
For I learned about life
F
And I found a wife

Ab
In the town I loved so well
Db
Ab
But when I returned how
Bbm
Gb
Db
my eye s have burned
Gb

to see how a town can be
Ab
brought to its knees
Db
Ab
by the armored cars
Bbm
Ab
and the bombed -out bombs
Db
Gb
and the gas that hang
Db
Ab
Db
s on to every breeze
Fm
Gb
Ab
now the army's in storm
Db
Ab
Bbm
by that old gas -yacht wall
Ab
Gb
Ebm
and the damp of the wire
Ab
gets higher and higher
Db
Ab
With the tanks and their guns,
Gb
Db
oh my God, what have they done
Gb
Db
Ab
Db
To the town I loved so well
Ab
Now the music's gone,
Bb
Bbm
Db
but they carry on
Gb
Db
For their spirit's been bruised,
never broken
Ab
Db
Ab
They will not forget,
Gb
Db
but their hearts are set
Gb
Db
Ab
Db
On tomorrow and peace once again
Gb
Ab
Oh, what's done is done,
Db
Ab
Bbm
and what's won is won,
Ab
Gb
Ebm
Gb
Ab
and what's lost is lost in the forever.
Bbm

I can only pray for a bright,
Db
brand -new day

In the town I love so well

In the town I love so well you
