[G][C][G][Am][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]In my memory,
[D]I will al [C]way[G]s see
The [C]town [G]that I have loved [D]so well
Where our [G]school [D]played ball,
[C]by the [G]gas yard's wall
We [C]laughed through the
[G]smoke an[D]d the s[G]mell
Going [C]home [D]in the rain,
running [G]up the [D]dark [Em]lane
Past the [C]chair and [Am]down behind
the [D]fountain[Dsus4][D]
Those were [G]happy [D]days
[C]In so [G]many ways
In the [C]town I have [G]loved [D]so well
[G][C][G][D][Dsus4][G][D][G]
In the early [D]mornin' [C]the
short [G]factory horn
Called [C]women from the [G]craggin'
of the moor and the [D]bog
While the [G]men on [D]the door
[C]played [G]a mother[C]'s [G]role
Fed the [C]children and [G]then
[D]walked the [G]docks
And though [C]times were [D]tough
There was [G]just [D]about [Em]enough
And they [C]saw it [Am]through
without complain[D]ing
For though [G]deep in[D]side
[C]Was the [G]burning [C]bright[G]
in the [C]town I have [G]loved [D]so well

[Verse 2]
[G]There I [C]spent [D]my youth,
and to [G]tell [D]you the [Em]truth
I [C]was sad to [Am]leave it all [D]behind me
For I [G]learned about [D]life
An[C]d I found a w[G]ife
In the [C]town I have [G]loved [D]so [G]well
But when I re[D]turned
[C]All my eyes were [G]burned
To [C]see how a [G]town
could be brought to it[D]s knees
By the [G]armored [D]cars
[C]an d the bombed -out [G]bars
And the [C]gas that hangs
[G]on to [D]every [G]breathe
Now the [C]army sends [D]the horns
of [G]the old [D]gas [Em]yachts, whoa
And the [C]dance of the [Am]wire
gets higher and [D]higher
With [G]the dancing [D]guns,
oh my [C]God, what have they [G]done
To the [C]town I have [G]loved [D]so [G]well
Now [D]the music's gone, [C]but they [G]carry on
For the [C]spirit's been [G]bruised,
[D]never broken
They [G]will not for[D]get,
[C]but the [G]hearts [C]are [G]set
On to[C]morrow and [G]peace [D]once [G]again
For what's [C]done [D]is done,
and what's [G]won [D]is [Em]won
And [C]what's lost is [Am]lost and gone [D]forever
I can [G]only [D]pray for a [C]bright brand [G]new day
In the [C]town I have [G]loved [D]so [G]well
In the [C]town I have [G]loved [D]so [G]well
In the [C]town that I [D]love so well
