G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
In my memory I will always see
C C G G D D
The town that I have loved so well
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
C C G G D D G G
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell
C C D D G G D/F# D/F# Em Em D D
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane
C C C/B C/B Am Am D D
Past the jail and down behind the fountain
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
Those were happy days in so many many ways
C C G G D D G G
In the town I loved so well


G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
In the early morning the shirt factory horn
C C G G D D
Called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
While the men on the dole played a mother's role
C C G G D D G G
Fed the children and then trained the dog
C C D D G G D/F# D/F# Em Em D D
And when times got tough, there was just about enough
C C C/B C/B Am Am D D
But they saw it through without complaining
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
For deep inside was a burning pride
C C G G D D G G
In the town I loved so well


G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
There was music there in the Derry air
C C G G D D
Like a language that we all could understand
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
C C G G D D G G
as I played in a small pickup band
C C D D G G D/F# D/F# Em Em D D
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
C C C/B C/B Am Am D D
I was sad to leave it all behind me
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
For I'd learned about life and I'd found a wife
C C G G D D G G
In the town I loved so well


G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
But when I returned, oh my eyes, how they had burned
C C G G D D
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
C C G G D D G G
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
C C D D G G D/F# D/F# Em Em D D
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
C C C/B C/B Am Am D D
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
With their tanks and guns, oh my God, what have they done
C C G G D D G G
To the town I loved so well



G G D D C C G G
C C G G D D
G G D D C C G G
C C G G D D G G



G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
Now the music's gone but they carry on
C C G G D D
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
Oh, they'll not forget still their hearts are set
C C G G D D G G
On tomorrow and peace once again
C C D D G G D/F# D/F# Em Em D D
For what's done is done and what's won is won
C C C/B C/B Am Am D D
And what's lost is lost and gone forever
G G D/F# D/F# C C G G
I can only pray for a bright brand new day
C C G G D D G G [rall.]
In the town I loved so well
