Verse 1

G

D

C

G

In my memory I will always see

C

G

D

The town that I have loved so well

G

D

Where our school played ball

C

G

by the gas yard wall

C

G

And we laughed through the smoke

D

G

and the smell

C

D

Going home in the rain,

G

D

Em

running up the dark lane

C

Past the jail

Am

D

and down behind the fountain

G

D

Those were happy days

C

G

in so many, many ways

C

G

D

G

In the town I loved so well

Verse 2

G

D

C

G

In the early morning, the shirt factory horn

C

G

Called women from Creggan,

D

the moor and the bog

G

D

While their men on the dole played

C

G

a mother's role

C

G

D

G

Fed the children and then trained the dogs

C

D

And when times got tough,

G

D

Em

there was just about enough

C

But they saw it

Am

D

through without complaining

G

D

C

G

For deep inside was a burning pride

C

G

D

G

In the town I loved so well

Verse 3

G

D

C

G

There was music there in the Derry air

C

G

D

Like a language that we all could understand

G

D

I remember the day

C

G

that I earned my first pay

C

G

D

G

When I played in a small pick-up band

C

D

There I spent my youth

G

D

Em

and to tell you the truth

C

I was sad

Am

D

to leave it all behind me

G

D

C

G

For I learned about life and I found a wife

C

G

D

G

In the town I loved so 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 its knees

G

D

By the armoured cars

C

G

and the bombed out bars

C

G

D

G

And the gas that hangs on to every breeze

C

D

Now the army's installed

G

D

Em

by that old gasyard wall

C

Am

And the damded 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

G

D

G

To the town I loved so well

Verse 5

G

D

Now the music's gone

C

G

but they carry on

C

G

D

For their spirit's been bruised, never broken

G

D

C

G

They will not forget but their hearts are set

C

G

D

G

On tomorrow and peace once again

C

D

For what's done is done

G

D

Em

and what's won is won

C

Am

And what's lost is lost

D

and gone forever

G

D

C

G

I can only pray for a bright, brand new day

Best Tuning App Ever
MaddProfessor
“I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.”
Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
