[D]

[Verse 1]
In [G]my [D]memory,
[C]I will always see[G][C]
The town that [G]I have loved so w[D]ell
Where [G]our school played [D]ball[C]
by the gas yard [G]wall
And they [C]laughed through [G]the smoke
[D]and the[G] smell[C][G][C]
Going home in the [D]rain,
running [G]up [D]the dark [Em]lane
Past the [C]jail, and [Am]down behind
the Foun[D]tain[Em][D]
Those [G]were happy [D]days in so [C]many,
many [G]ways
In the [C]town [G]I l[D]oved so w[G]ell[C][G]

[Verse 2]
In [G]the early [D]morning[C]
the shirt factory [G]horn
[C]Called women [G]from Creggan, the moor,
and the [D]bog
While the [G]men on the [D]dole[C]
played a [Em]mother[C]'s [G]role
Fed [C]the children and [G]then[D]
walked the [G]dog[C][G][C]
And when times [D]got tough there
[G]was just about [Em]enough
And they [C]saw it [Am]through without
complain[D]ing[Em][D]
For [G]deep in[D]side [C]was a burning pri[G]de
In the [C]town [D]I loved so w[G]ell

[Verse 3]
There was [G]music [D]there [C]in the Derry air[G]
Like a [C]language that we
[G]all [Am]could unde[G]rstand
[D]I r[G]emember the[D] day that
[C]I earned my first [G]pay
When I [C]played [D]in a small
[G]pic[D]k-up band
[G]band
There I [C]spent my [D]youth,
and [G]to tell you [Em]the truth[D]
I was [C]sad to [Am]leave it all be[D]hind me
For I [G]learned about [D]life,
[C]and I found a w[G]ife
In the [C]town [D]I l[G]oved s[D]o
[G]well

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Am][D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
But when [G]I ret[D]urned,
how [C]my eyes have [G]burned
[C]To see how a [G]town could be
brought to it's [D]knees
By [G]the armoured [D]cars [C]and
the bombed-out bars
[G]bars
And the [C]gas that hang
[G]s on [D]to every bre[G]eze
Now the [C]army's in[D]stalled by
that [G]old gas yard [Em]wall[D]
And the [C]damned barbed [Am]wire
gets higher and [D]higher
With their [G]tanks and their [D]guns,
oh my [C]god, what have they [G]done
To the [C]town [D]I loved so w[G]ell[C][G]

[Verse 5]
Now the [G]music's gone
[C]but they car[G]ry on
For [C]their spirit[G]s been bruised,
never broken
They will not [C]forget but
their [G]hearts are set
On to[C]morrow [G]and peace
[D]once aga[G]in[D]
For what's [C]done is [D]done
and what's [G]won is [Em]won
[D]And what's los[C]t is los[Am]t and gone for eve[D]r
I [G]can only [D]pray for a [C]bright,
brand new [G]day
In the [C]town I [G]love [D]so wel[C]l
[C]
