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

[Verse 2]
In the [G]early [D]morning, the [C]shirt factory [G]horn
Called [C]women from [G]Creggan,
the moor and the [D]bog
While their [G]men on the [D]dole played
a [C]mother's [G]role
Fed the [C]children and [G]then [D]trained the [G]dogs
And when [C]times got [D]tough,
there was [G]just a[D]bout e[Em]nough
But they [C]saw it
[Am]through without com[D]plaining
For [G]deep in[D]side was a [C]burning [G]pride
In the [C]town I [G]loved [D]so wel[G]l

[Verse 3]
There was [G]music [D]there in the [C]Derry [G]air
Like a [C]language that [G]we all could under[D]stand
I re[G]member the [D]day
that I [C]earned my first [G]pay
When I [C]played in a [G]small [D]pick-up [G]band
There I [C]spent my [D]youth
and to [G]tell [D]you the [Em]truth
I was [C]sad
to [Am]leave it all be[D]hind me
For I [G]learned about [D]life and I [C]found a [G]wife
In the [C]town I [G]loved [D]so wel[G]l

[Verse 4]
♪ But when [G]I ret[D]urned
how my [C]eyes have [G]burned
To [C]see how a [G]town could be
brought to its [D]knees
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
Now the [C]army's in[D]stalled
by that [G]old [D]gasyard [Em]wall
And the [C]damded 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 I [G]loved [D]so [G]well

[Verse 5]
Now the [G]music's [D]gone
but they [C]carry [G]on
For their [C]spirit's been [G]bruised, never bro[D]ken
They will [G]not for[D]get but their [C]hearts are [G]set
On to[C]morrow and [G]peace [D]once a[G]gain
For what's [C]done is [D]done
and what's [G]won [D]is [Em]won
And what's [C]lost is [Am]lost
and gone for[D]ever
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][C][G]
