Intro 1
(G major) (D/F#) (C/E) (G major)
(C major) (A minor) (G/D) (D major)
Verse 1
In my (G major) memo (D/F#) ry I will (C/E) 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/F#) ball
by the (C/E) gas yard (G major) wall
And we (C major) laughed through the (G/D) smoke
(D major) and the (G major) smell
Going (C major) home in the (D major) rain,
running (G major) up the (D/F#) dark (E minor) lane (E minor/D)
Past the (C major) jail (C/B)
and (A minor) down behind the (D major) fountain
Those were (G major) happy days (D/F#)
in so (C/E) many, many ways (G major)
In the town (C major) I (G/D) loved (D major) so (G major) well

Verse 2
In the (G major) early (D/F#) morning, the (C/E) 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/F#) dole played
a (C/E) mother's (G major) role
Fed the (C major) children and (G/D) then (D major) trained the (G major) dogs
And when (C major) times got tough, (D major)
there was just (G major) a (D/F#) bout e (E minor) nough (E minor/D)
But they (C major) saw (C/B) it
(A minor) through without com (D major) plaining
For (G major) deep in (D/F#) side was a (C/E) burning pride (G major)
In the town (C major) I (G/D) loved (D major) so (G major) well
Verse 3
There was (G major) music there (D/F#) in the (C/E) 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/F#)
that I (C/E) earned my first pay (G major)
When I (C major) played in a (G/D) small (D major) pick-up (G major) band
There I (C major) spent my (D major) youth
and to (G major) tell (D/F#) you the (E minor) truth
(E minor/D) I was (C major) sad (C/B)
to (A minor) leave it all be (D major) hind me
For I learned (G major) about life (D/F#) and I (C/E) found a wife (G major)
In the town (C major) I (G/D) loved (D major) so (G major) well

(C major) (G/D) (D major) (G major)
Verse 4
♪ But when I (G major) returned (D/F#)
how my eyes (C/E) 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/F#)
and the (C/E) bombed out bars (G major)
And the (C major) gas that hangs (G/D) on to (D major) every (G major) breeze
Now the (C major) army's in (D major) stalled
by that old (G major) (D/F#) gasyard wall (E minor) (E minor/D)
And the (C major) damded (C/B) barbed (A minor) wire
gets higher and (D major) higher
With their (G major) tanks and their (D/F#) guns
oh my God (C/E) what have they done (G major)
To the town (C major) I (G/D) loved (D major) so (G major) well
Verse 5
Now the (G major) music's gone (D/F#)
but they (C/E) 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/F#) but their (C/E) hearts are (G major) set
On to (C major) morrow and (G/D) 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/F#) is (E minor) won
(E minor/D) And what's lost (C major) (C/B) is lost (A minor)
and gone for (D major) ever
I can only (G major) pray (D/F#) for a bright, (C/E) brand new day (G major)
In the town (C major) I (G/D) loved (D major) so (G major) well (C major) (C major) (G major)
