[Verse 1]
[G]In [D]My mem[G]ory I w[D]ill always[C] see
[G]The tow[C]n that I h[G]ave love[Em]d so well[D]
Where our [G]school's played [D]ball
by [C]the gas yard [G]wall
And we [C]laughed through the [G]smoke
an[D]d the s[G]mell[C][G]
Go[D]ing [Em]home [G]in [D]the rain,
running [C]up the dark [Em]lane,[G]
past the [C]jail and [Am]down
behind the [D]fountain.
Those were [G]happy [D]days,
in so [C]many, [G]many ways,
[D]In the [C]town I [G]loved
[D]so [G]well.[C][D]
[G]In [D]the ear[G]ly mor[D]ning the
[C]shirt factory [G]horn
[D]Pulled [C]women from [G]Cregan
to the [Em]moor and the [D]bog
While the [G]man on [D]the dole
played a [C]mother's [G]role,
[D]Fed the chi[C]ldren and the[G]n
[D]walked the [G]dogs.
[C]And[D] wh[G]en[D][G]
[Em]times [G]got [D]tough,
there was [C]just about enough,
[G]But we [C]saw it [Am]through
without complain[D]ing
For [G]deep [D]inside was a [C]burning [G]pride
For the [C]town I [G]loved [C]so [D]well[G]
[C][G][C][G][D][G][C]
[D]There [G]was[D] mus[G]ic the[D]re
in the [C]dairy [G]air
Like a [C]language that we
[G]all could [Em]understand
[D]I remem[G]ber the day[D] when
I [C]earned my first [G]pay
As I [C]played in that [G]small [D]pick -up [G]van[C]
[G]The[D]re I spe[G]nt my you[D]th,
and to [C]tell you the [D]truth,[Em]
[G]I w[Em]as said t[C]o leave [Am]it all behin[D]d me.
For I'd [G]learned [D]about life,
and I [C]found me a wife
[G]In the tow[C]n I lov[G]ed so [D]wel[G]l[C]
[G]But [D]when I r[G]eturn[D]ed,
how my [C]eyes were [G]burned
To [C]see how a [G]town
could be [Em]brought to its
[D]By the [G]armoured [D]cars
and the [C]bombed -out [G]bars
And the [C]gas that hangs [G]on
to [D]every [G]breeze
[C]Now [G]the[D] army's[G] in sta[D]lle[G]d[D]
by that [C]old [D]gas -yard ball
[Em]An d[G] that damn[C]ed barbed wire[Am]
gets higher and [D]higher
With their [G]tanks and their [D]guns
Oh my [C]God, what have they done
[G]To the tow[C]n I lov[G]ed so [C]wel[D]l[G][C]
[G]Now[D] the mus[G]ic's gon[D]e
But [C]they carry [G]on
Though their [C]spirit's been [G]bruised
But never [Em]broken[C]
[D]Though we're not[G] free yet[D],
still our [C]hearts are [G]set
On to [C]power and [G]peace [D]once [G]again[C]
[G]For[D] what's don[G]e, it'[D]s done,
and [C]what's [G]won, [D]it's won
[Em]An d[G] what's lo[C]st,
it's [Am]lost and gone [D]forever
I can [G]only [D]pray for a [C]bright
brand new [G]day
In the [C]town I [G]loved [D]so [G]well[C]
[G]In the[C] town I lov[G]ed so [D]well
