    Verse 1
    In 
    my 
    memo
    ry 
    will 
    always 
    see 

    The 
    town 
    that 
    have 
    loved 
    so 
    well 

    Where 
    our 
    school 
    played 
    ball 

    by 
    the 
    gas 
    yard 
    wall 

    And 
    we 
    laughed 
    through 
    the 
    smoke 

    and 
    the 
    smell 

    Going 
    home 
    in 
    the 
    rain, 

    running 
    up 
    the 
    dark 
    lane 

    Past 
    the 
    jail 

    and 
    down 
    behind 
    the 
    fountain 

    Those 
    were 
    happy 
    days 

    in 
    so 
    many, 
    many 
    ways 

    In 
    the 
    town 
    loved 
    so 
    well 


    Verse 2
    In 
    the 
    early 
    morning, 
    the 
    shirt 
    factory 
    horn 

    Called 
    women 
    from 
    Creggan, 

    the 
    moor 
    and 
    the 
    bog 

    While 
    their 
    men 
    on 
    the 
    dole 
    played 

    mother's 
    role 

    Fed 
    the 
    children 
    and 
    then 
    trained 
    the 
    dogs 

    And 
    when 
    times 
    got 
    tough, 

    there 
    was 
    just 
    a
    bout 
    e
    nough 

    But 
    they 
    saw 
    it 

    through 
    without 
    com
    plaining 

    For 
    deep 
    in
    side 
    was 
    burning 
    pride 

    In 
    the 
    town 
    loved 
    so 
    well 

    Verse 3
    There 
    was 
    music 
    there 
    in 
    the 
    Derry 
    air 

    Like 
    language 
    that 
    we 
    all 
    could 
    under
    stand 

    re
    member 
    the 
    day 

    that 
    earned 
    my 
    first 
    pay 

    When 
    played 
    in 
    small 
    pick-up 
    band 

    There 
    spent 
    my 
    youth 

    and 
    to 
    tell 
    you 
    the 
    truth 

    was 
    sad 

    to 
    leave 
    it 
    all 
    be
    hind 
    me 

    For 
    learned 
    about 
    life 
    and 
    found 
    wife 

    In 
    the 
    town 
    loved 
    so 
    well 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 4
    ♪ 
    But 
    when 
    re
    turned 

    how 
    my 
    eyes 
    have 
    burned 

    To 
    see 
    how 
    town 
    could 
    be 

    brought 
    to 
    its 
    knees 

    By 
    the 
    armoured 
    cars 

    and 
    the 
    bombed 
    out 
    bars 

    And 
    the 
    gas 
    that 
    hangs 
    on 
    to 
    every 
    breeze 

    Now 
    the 
    army's 
    in
    stalled 

    by 
    that 
    old 
    gasyard 
    wall 

    And 
    the 
    damded 
    barbed 
    wire 

    gets 
    higher 
    and 
    higher 

    With 
    their 
    tanks 
    and 
    their 
    guns 

    oh 
    my 
    God 
    what 
    have 
    they 
    done 

    To 
    the 
    town 
    loved 
    so 
    well 

    Verse 5
    Now 
    the 
    music's 
    gone 

    but 
    they 
    carry 
    on 

    For 
    their 
    spirit's 
    been 
    bruised, 
    never 
    bro
    ken 

    They 
    will 
    not 
    for
    get 
    but 
    their 
    hearts 
    are 
    set 

    On 
    to
    morrow 
    and 
    peace 
    once 
    a
    gain 

    For 
    what's 
    done 
    is 
    done 

    and 
    what's 
    won 
    is 
    won 

    And 
    what's 
    lost 
    is 
    lost 

    and 
    gone 
    for
    ever 

    can 
    only 
    pray 
    for 
    bright, 
    brand 
    new 
    day 

    In 
    the 
    town 
    loved 
    so 
    well

    • 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.
