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

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

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