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

Verse 2
In the (G major) early (D major) morning, the (C major) shirt factory horn (G major)
Called (C major) women from (G major) Creggan,
the moor and the bog (D major)
While their (G major) men on the (D major) dole played
a (C major) mother's (G major) role
Fed the (C major) children and (G major) then (D major) trained the (G major) dogs
And when (C major) times got tough, (D major)
there was just (G major) a (D major) bout e (E minor) nough
But they (C major) saw it
(A minor) through without com (D major) plaining
For (G major) deep in (D major) side was a (C major) burning pride (G major)
In the town (C major) I (G major) loved (D major) so (G major) well
Verse 3
There was (G major) music there (D major) in the (C major) Derry air (G major)
Like a (C major) language that (G major) we all could under (D major) stand
I re (G major) member the day (D major)
that I (C major) earned my first pay (G major)
When I (C major) played in a (G major) small (D major) pick-up (G major) band
There I (C major) spent my (D major) youth
and to (G major) tell (D major) you the (E minor) truth
I was (C major) sad
to (A minor) leave it all be (D major) hind me
For I learned (G major) about life (D major) and I (C major) found a wife (G major)
In the town (C major) I (G major) loved (D major) so (G major) well
Interlude 1
(G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 4
♪ But when I (G major) returned (D major)
how my eyes (C major) have burned (G major)
To (C major) see how a town (G major) could be
brought to its knees (D major)
By the (G major) armoured cars (D major)
and the (C major) bombed out bars (G major)
And the (C major) gas that hangs (G major) on to (D major) every (G major) breeze
Now the (C major) army's in (D major) stalled
by that old (G major) (D major) gasyard wall (E minor)
And the (C major) damded barbed (A minor) wire
gets higher and (D major) higher
With their (G major) tanks and their (D major) guns
oh my God (C major) what have they done (G major)
To the town (C major) I (G major) loved (D major) so (G major) well
Verse 5
Now the (G major) music's gone (D major)
but they (C major) carry on (G major)
For their (C major) spirit's been (G major) bruised, never broken (D major)
They will (G major) not forget (D major) but their (C major) hearts are (G major) set
On to (C major) morrow and (G major) peace (D major) once a (G major) gain
For what's (C major) done is done (D major)
and what's (G major) won (D major) is (E minor) won
And what's lost (C major) is lost (A minor)
and gone for (D major) ever
I can only (G major) pray (D major) for a bright, (C major) brand new day (G major)
In the town (C major) I (G major) loved (D major) so (G major) well (C major) (C major) (G major)
