The Town I Loved So Well
1.
In my me-mo-ry I will always see C G F C
The town that I have loved so well F C G
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall C G F C
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell. F C G C
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane F G C Am
Passed the jail and down beside the fountain F G
Those were ha-ppy days in so many many ways C G F C
In the town I loved so well. F C G C
2.
In the early morning the shirt fact'ry horn C G F C
Called the women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog F C G
While the men on the dole played a mother's role C G F C
Fed the_children and then walked the dog F C G C
And when times got rough there was just about enough F G C Am
But they saw it through without complaining F G
For deep in-side was a burning pride C G F C
In the town I loved so well. F C G C
3.
There was mu-sic there in the Derry air C G F C
Like a language that we could all un-derstand F C G
I re-member the day when I earned my first pay C G F C
When_I played in a small pick-up band F C G C
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth F G C Am
I was sa-d to leave it_all behind me F G
There I learned about life and I found a wife C G F C
In the town I loved so well. F C G C
4.
But when I re-turned oh my eyes how they burned C G F C
To see how a town could be brought to its knees F C G
By the ar-moured cars and the bombed out bars C G F C
And the gas that hangs on to ev'ry breeze F C G C
Now the ar-my's installed by the old gasyard wall F G C Am
And the damned barbed wire gets high'r_and higher F G
With their tanks and_their guns, oh my God, what_have_they done C G F C
To the town I loved so well. F C G C
5.
Now the mu-sic's gone but they carry on C G F C
For_their spirit's been bruised, never bro-ken F C G
They will not forget but their hearts are set C G F C
On tomorrow and peace once again F C G C
Now what's done is done and what's won is won F G C Am
And what's lost is lost and_gone forever F G
I can on-ly pray for a bright brand_new day C G F C
For the town I love so well. F C G C
