This song is called, The Town I Loved So Well. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ A song about a fellow who was born in a town, he went to school,

[C] It goes like this.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] _
In [Bb] my _ _ _ _ _
[F] memory, _ _ _ I [Cm] will _ _ [Bb] _ always _ _ _ see
_ _ [Eb] _ the [C] town _ _ [Bb] that _ I _ _ have loved _ [C] _
so well.
_ [F] _ [Bb] Where our _ school _ [F] played _ ball by [Eb] the _ [F] gas _ [Bb] yard _ wall, _
and [Eb] we _ laughed _ [Bb] through the _ [C] smoke _ _ [Bb] and the smell. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ [G] Going _ [Gm] home _ in the [Dm] _ [Cm] rain, _ _ [Bb] running _ _ off the _ [Gm] dark _ lane,
[Bb] past [Eb] the _ _ jail [D] _ and [Gm] down behind [C] the [F] _ fountain.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Bb] Those were _ _ _ happy [F] _ _ days [C] in [Eb] so many, _ _ many [Bb] _ _
ways.
_ [Eb] In the _ town _ [Bb] I _ _ [C] loved so _ [Bb] _ well. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
In the _ _ _ [F] early _ _ morning, _ the [Eb] _ _
shirt factory [Bb] _ _ horn
_ called the [Eb] _ _ women _ [Bb] from _ Craigham, _ _ _ the _ moor and [C] the ball.
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] While their _ men on the little _ [F] _
_ pay [Eb] the mark, _
_ _ [Bb] the road _ _ headed [Eb] to _ _ children _ [Bb]
and then [C] _ _ trains [Bb]
to the _ dogs. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [Gm] When _ times [C] got _ rough, _ there [Bb] was _ [A] just _ [Gm] about enough,
_ _ but [Eb] we saw _ it _ [Cm] _
through _ without [F] _ complaining. _
_ _ _ [Dm] For _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ deep _ _
_ [F] _ _ inside _ was [Cm] a _ [Eb] _ _ burning _ _
[Bb] _ pride,
_ [Eb] in the town _ _ _ [Bb] I _ [C] loved so _ [Bb] _ well. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
There was _ _ _ _ _ [F]
music _ _ there _ [Eb] in the _ _ dairy _ [Bb] air,
_ _ _ [Eb] like a _ _ language _ [Cm] [Bb] that we _ all _ _ could _ _ _ _ [C] understand.
_ _ _ [F] _
[Bb] I _ remember _ _ _ the _ day _ [Eb] I _ earned my _ [Bb] first pay,
_ _ when [Eb] I _ _ played in [Bb] a _ small [F]
pickup.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
There _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] I spent _ _ _ [F] my _ youth,
_ and [Bb] to tell _ _ [A] you the truth, [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
I [Cm] had to leave it all _ [F] behind me. _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ There [Bb] I _ learned _ _ [F] about _ life,
_ and [Eb] I _ found _ _ [Bb] a _ _ wife in [Eb] the _ town _ _ [Bb] I _ _ [C] loved so [Bb] _ well. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _

_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But when _ _ I _ _ [F] _ _
return, [Cm] how my _ _ [Eb]
eyes _ _ [G] [Bb] have _ burned,
_ [Eb] to _ see _ _ how a town _ _ _ [C]
could be brought [Bb] _ _ [C] to its knees
_ [F] _ by [Bb] the _ arm _ _ [F] of _ cars _ [Eb] and the _ _ _
[Cm] bombed out [Bb] _ bars, _
_ and [Eb] the _ _ gas that [Bb] hangs on [C] to every _ [Bb] _ street. _ _ _ _
_ _ Now _ _ [Gm] the _ _ army's _ _ [F] _ _
installed by [Bb] that _ old [Am] _ gas [Gm] yard wall, _
[Bb] _ [Eb] and the guy _ gets _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ higher _
[F] and higher _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [Cm] with _ _ [Bb] their tanks _ _ and [F] their guns.
_ Oh my [Eb] God, _ _ [F]
what [Cm] have they [Bb] _ done _ to the [Eb] _ _ town _ I love so well.
[Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _
Now _ _ _ the _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ music's gone, _ _ but [Eb] they _ carry _ _ _ [Bb] on, _ _
for [Eb] their _ _ _ spirit's been [Bb] _ _ _ bruised, _ never _ broken.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ They will _ _ _ _ not [F] forget, _ _ _ and [Eb] their _ _ hearts _ [Bb] are set _
_ on [Eb] _ tomorrow _ _ [Bb] and _ _ peace [C] _ _
[Bb] once _ again. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ For [Gm]
what's done _ _ _ [F] is done, _ _ [C] _ [Bb] what's _ won _ _ [Gm] is _ won,
and [Eb] what's _ lost _ _ [Cm] is lost and gone _ [F] forever. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Bb] They can _ _ _ _ [F] only pray _ _ _ for [Eb] a bright _ brand [Bb] new _ day
_ _ [Eb] in the _ _ town _ [Bb] I _ _ _ [C] love _ so _ [Bb] _
_ well. _ _ _ _ _
