G D C G
In my memory I will always see
C G Em D
the town that I have loved so well
G D C G
where our school played ball by the gas yard wall
C G D G C G Em
and we laughed through the smoke and the smell
Em D F#m B7 Em
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane,
C Am A D
past the jail and down behind the fountain,
G D C G
those were happy days in so many, many ways
C D G C G D
in the town I loved so well.
[Verso 2]
G D C G
In the early morning, the shirt factory horn
C G Em D
called women from Creggan, the moor and the bog
G D C G
while their men on the dole played a mother's role
C G D G C G Em
fed the children and then trained the dogs.
Em D F#m B7 Em
And when times got tough, there was just about enough
C Am A D
but they saw it through without complaining
G D C G
for deep inside was a burning pride
C D G C G D
in the town I loved so well
[Verso 3]
G D C G
There was music there in the Derry air
C G Em D
like a language that we all could understand
G D C G
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
C G D G C G Em
when I played in a small pick-up band
Em D F#m B7 Em
there I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
C Am A D
I was sad to leave it all behind me
G D C G
for I learned about life and I found a wife
C D G C G D
in the town I loved so well
[Verso 4]
G D C G
But when I returned how my eyes have burned
C G Em D
to see how a town could be brought to its knees
G D C G
by the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
C G D G C G Em
and the gas that hangs on to every breeze
Em D F#m B7 Em
Now the army's installed by the old gas yard wall
C Am A D
and the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
G D C G
with their tanks and their guns oh my God what have they done
C D G C G D
to the town I loved so well
[Verso 5]
G D C G
Now the music's gone but they carry on
C G Em D
for their spirit's been bruised, never bro__ken
G D C G
they will not forget but their hearts are set
C G D G C G Em
on tomorrow and peace once again.
Em D F#m B7 Em
For what's done is done and what's won is won
C Am A D
and what's lost is past and gone forever
G D C G
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
C D G C G D
in the town I loved so well
