Verse 1
In (G major) my memory, (D major)
(C major) I will always (G major) see (C major)
The town that (G major) I have loved so (D major) well
Where our (G major) school played (D major) ball (C major)
by the gas yard (G major) wall
And they (C major) laughed through (G major) the smoke
(D major) and the smell (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Going home in the (D major) rain,
running (G major) up the dark (D major) lane (E minor)
Past the (C major) jail, and (A minor) down behind
the Foun (D major) tain (E minor) (D major)
Those (G major) were happy (D major) days in so (C major) many,
many (G major) ways
In the (C major) town I (G major) loved (D major) so (G major) well (C major) (G major)

Verse 2
In (G major) the early (D major) morning (C major)
the shirt factory (G major) horn
Called (C major) women from (G major) Creggan, the moor,
and the (D major) bog
While the (G major) men on the (D major) dole (C major)
played a (E minor) mother (C major) 's role (G major)
Fed (C major) the children and (G major) then (D major)
walked the (G major) dog (C major) (G major) (C major)
And when times got tough (D major) there
was (G major) just about enough (E minor)
And they (C major) saw it through (A minor) without
complain (D major) ing (E minor) (D major)
For (G major) deep in (D major) side (C major) was a burning pride (G major)
In the (C major) town I (D major) loved so (G major) well
Verse 3
There was (G major) music (D major) there (C major) in the Derry air (G major)
Like a (C major) language that we
all (G major) (A minor) could (G major) understand
(D major) I re (G major) member the day (D major) that
I earned (C major) my first (G major) pay
When I (C major) played in a small (D major)
(G major) (D major) pick-up band
(G major) band
There I (C major) spent my (D major) youth,
and to tell (G major) you the truth (E minor) (D major)
I was (C major) sad to (A minor) leave it all be (D major) hind me
For I (G major) learned about (D major) life,
(C major) and I found a wife (G major)
In the (C major) town I (D major) loved (G major) (D major) so
(G major) well

Verse 4
But when (G major) I re (D major) turned,
how my (C major) eyes have (G major) burned
To see (C major) how a (G major) town could be
brought to it's (D major) knees
By the (G major) armoured (D major) cars (C major) and
the bombed-out bars
(G major) bars
And the (C major) gas that hang
(G major) s on (D major) to every (G major) breeze
Now the (C major) army's installed (D major) by
that (G major) old gas yard (E minor) wall (D major)
And the (C major) damned barbed wire (A minor)
gets higher and (D major) higher
With their tanks (G major) and their (D major) guns,
oh my god, (C major) what have they (G major) done
To the (C major) town I (D major) loved so well (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 5
Now the (G major) music's gone
(C major) but they (G major) carry on
For (C major) their spirit (G major) s been bruised,
never broken
They will not forget (C major) but
their (G major) hearts are set
On to (C major) morrow (G major) and peace
(D major) once (G major) again (D major)
For what's (C major) done is (D major) done
and what's (G major) won is (E minor) won
(D major) And what's (C major) lost is lost (A minor) and gone for (D major) ever
I can (G major) only pray (D major) for a (C major) bright,
brand new (G major) day
In the (C major) town I (G major) love (D major) so well (C major)
(C major)
