The talent I love so well,
C

G 
Am 
so here it is.

G

C 
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
D 
But our schools played ball
C 
on the Cass Yard wall
G 
C 
And we laughed through the
G 
D 
G 
smoke and  the smell
Em 
D 
Going home in the rain,
G 
D 
riding down the dark lane
Em 
C 
Am 
Past the jail and town,
D 
behind the fountain
G 
D 
Those were happy days
C 
G 
in so many, many ways
C 
G 
D 
In the town I loved so well
G 
D 
In the early morning,
Em 
C 
D 
the short factory horn
G 
C 
G 
Called women from Cranaghan,
D 
oh the boor and the bark.
G 
D 
While the men on the dole
Em 
C 
G 
played a mar tyr's role,
C 
G 
there the children and them
D 
G 
walked the dog.
Em 
D 
When times got rough,
G 
there was just about enough
Em 
C 
Am 
But they saw it through
D 
without complaining
G 
D 
Em 
C 
G 
Far deep inside was a burning light
C 
G 
D 
G 
In the town I loved so well
D 
C 
G 
There was music there in the dairy air
Am 
G 
C 
G 
Like a language that we
all could well understand
D 
G 
D 
And I remember the day
C 
G 
when I had my first pain
D 
G 
C 
G 
When I played in a small
D 
G 
C 
G 
pick -up van
Em 
D 
There I spent my youth,
G 
D 
to tell you the truth
Em 
C 
Am 
D 
I'm sad to leave it all behind me
G 
D 
for I learned about life
C 
G 
and I found me my wife
C 
G 
D 
in the town I love so well

Verse 2
G 
But when I  returned,
D 
C 
G 
how my eyes had burnt
C 
G 
To see how the town
D 
could be brought to its knees
G 
D 
By those armored cars
C 
G 
and those bombed -out bars
C 
And the gas that hangs
G 
D 
G 
on to every breeze
D 
Em 
D 
Now the army's installed
G 
D 
Em 
on that old gas yard wall
C 
G 
Am 
The damn barbed wire
D 
gets higher and higher
G 
D 
With their tanks and  guns,
C 
G 
oh my God, what have they done
C 
G 
D 
G 
To the town I love so well
D 
Now the music's gone,
C 
G 
but they still carry on
C 
G 
For their spirit's been bruised,
C 
D 
never broken them.
G 
D 
They will not forget,
C 
G 
C 
but our hearts are set on tomorrow
G 
D 
G 
and peace once again.
Em 
D 
What's done is done,
G 
Em 
what's won is won,
D 
C 
what's lost it's lost
Am 
D 
and gone forever.
G 
D 
C 
G 
I could only pray for a bright, bright day
C 
G 
D 
G 
C 
G 
In the town I love so well you.
