[Verse 1]
[C]In my memory,
[G]I will alw[F]ays see
[C]The [F]town that I [C]have [Am]loved so well
[G]Where our [C]kids played [G]ball
by the [F]old gas yard wall
[C]And we ran[F] through the
smoke [C]an [G]d t[F]he smell
[C]Go [G]ing [Am]home in the [G]rain,
running [F]up the dark [C]lane,
past the [Dm]jail
and [F]down behind the foun[G]tain.
Those were [C]happy days
[G]in so ver[F]y many ways.
[C]In the tow[F]n I had lov[C]ed so wel[G]l[C][F][C]
In the early [G]morn, the shirt [F]factory [C]horn
It called [F]wo men from the [C]craggin'
The [Am]moor and the bog
[G]While the [C]men on the [G]dole
played a [F]mother's [C]role
They fed the [F]children and
[C]then [G]walked [C]the dog[F]
[C]And when [Am]times got rough
[G]There was jus[F]t about enough
[C]But they saw[Dm] it thro[F]ugh without
[G]complain[Gsus4]ing
[G]For dee[C]p ins[G]ide was this bur[F]ning pride
[C]In the [F]town I have [C]loved so [G]well[C][F]
[C]There was music [G]there in the [F]dairy [C]air
Like a [F]language that [C]we,
[G]we could [Am]all understand
[G]I rememb[C]er the d[Bm]ay
[G]when I [F]earned my first [C]pay,
I [F]played with a [C]small pick [G]-up [C]band.[F]
[C]There I'd [Am]spent my [G]youth,
and to [F]tell [C]you the truth,
I was [Dm]sad [F]to leave it all [G]behind me.
[Gsus4]For I'd l[G]earned [C]about life,[G]
[F]Found myself a [C]wife
in the [F]town I have [C]loved so [G]well.[C][F]
[C]But when I return,
[Bm]how [G]my eyes [F]they burn
[C]To [F]see how a town
[C]can be [Am]brought to its knees
[G]By the arm[C]ored car[Bm]s an
[G]d the b[F]urnt out b[C]ars
And [F]the gas that hangs [C]on to [G]every [C]breeze
[F]Now[C] the[G] ar[Am]my's installe[G]d
by that [F]same gas -yard [C]wall
And that [Dm]damned barbed [F]wire
gets higher and [G]higher
With their [C]tanks and with their gun[Bm]s
[G]Oh good [F]God, look what they've [C]done
To the [F]town I [C]have loved so [G]well[C]
Now [F]the mu[G]sic's gone,
but they [F]still carry on
[C]For their [F]spirit's been bruised,
[G]never broken
They shall [C]not for[G]get,
though their [F]hearts are set
[C]On tomor[F]row when
[C]peace [G]comes [C]again[F]
[C]For what's [Am]done is [G]done
And what's [F]won is won
[C]And what's los[Dm]t is los[F]t and gone for[G]ever
I can [C]only pray [G]for a [F]bright,
bright brand -new day
[C]In the tow[F]n I have lov[C]ed so [G]well
[C]
