The Town I Loved So Well Chords by The High Kings

_ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ In my _ _ [A] memory _ [Dm] I will [C]
always see _ a town _ that I _ have loved [G] so well
_ [C] Where the school played [G] ball [C] by the gas yard wall
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell _ _ _
_ Going [G] _ home in the rain, _ [C] running [Em] up the [Am] dark lane
_ [G] Past the jail, _ _ down behind the fountain
_ _ Those [C] were _ _ [G] happy days [C] in so many, many ways
In the town I [G] loved [C] so well _ _ _ _ _
In the _ early [G] _ _ morning [F] the shirt [C] factory horn
Called [G] the women [C] from _ Craigin, the moor [G] and the bog
_ [C] While the men [G] on the door _ [F] played the _ _ [C] mother's role
Fed [F] the children _ [C] and then [G] walked [C] the dog
_ _ _ _ And [F] when _ times [G] got tough, [C] there was just about [Am] enough
_ [G] But they saw _ it through without complaining
_ _ _ _ [C] For _ deep [G] inside _ [F] was a _ [C] burning pride
_ In the town _ I loved so well _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ There was _ [G] music there in [F] the dairy [C] air
_ Like a [F] language [C] that we _ could all _
[G] understand
_ [C] I remember _ the [G] day [F] when I earned my [C] first pay
_ [F] And I played [C]
in a [G] small pickup [C] band _ _
_ _ _ [F] There I _ spent [G] my youth and to [C] tell you [Am] the truth
_ [F] I was sad [D] to leave it [G] all behind me
_ For [C] I learned [G] about life and I found me [C] a wife
_ [F] In the town [C]
I loved [G] _ so [C] well _ _
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] But when I _ _
[G] returned how [F] my eyes [C] had burned
To see how a town could be brought to [G] its knees
With [C] their _ armored [G] _ cars [F] and the bummed [C] out bars
_ [G] And the gas [C] that hangs on [G] to every [C] _ breeze _
_ _ Now [F] the _ army's [G] installed by [C] that old gas [Am] yard wall
And the dark _ wire gets [G] higher and higher _
_ _ With [C] their tanks and [G] their guns
Oh [F] my God, what [C] have they done
To the _ town I love [G] _ [C] so well _ _
_ _ _ Now the _ _ music's [G] gone but they [F] _ [C] carry _ _ on
For their _ spirit's been bruised, never _ _ _ [G] broken
_ [C] They will not [G] forget _ [F] but their hearts [C] are set
_ On [F] tomorrow _ [C] and [G] peace once [C] again _ _
_ _ For [F] what's done _
[G] is done [C] and what's won [Am] is won
And [F] what's _ [Dm] lost is lost and [G] gone forever _
_ _ _ [C] I can _ only [G] _ pray [F] for a bright [C] brand new day
[F] In the _ town [C] I [G] loved [C] so well _
_ _ For [F] what's done [G] is done [C] and what's won [Em] is won
And what's lost [Dm] is lost and gone [G] forever _ _
_ _ I [C] can _ only [G] _ pray for [F] a bright [C] brand new day
_ [F] In the town [C]
I [G] loved [C] so _ [F] well
