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
Where our school played
G
F
ball by the gas -yard
C
wall
F
And they laughed through
C
G
the smoke and the
C
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
Called wo men from
C
G
Craigendon, 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

There was music there in the derriere
C

Like a language that we

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

There I spent my youth,
C
G
Am
and to tell you the truth
G
F
Dm
G
Am

I was sad to leave it all be hind me
C

For I learned about life

And I found a wife

For their spirit's been bruised,
never broken

They will not forget,

but their hearts are set

On tomorrow and peace once again

and what's lost is lost in the forever.
