[G] And [C] we laughed through [G] the smoke and the smell.
[C] [G] [Em] Going home [D] in the rain, [G] running up the [Em] dark lane,
past [C] the jail and down [D] behind the fountain,
Those [Am] were [G]
happy [D] days in so [C]
many, many [G] ways [C] In the town [G] I loved so well
[C] In [G]
the early [D] morning [C] this shirt factory [G]
horn [C] Called the women [G] from Craigin, the Moor and [D] the Paul
While [G] the men on the tow [D]
[C] played a [G] mother's role For [C] the children [G] and men walked alone
[C] And [G]
[Em] when times [G] got [D] rough [G] There was just about [Em]
enough
[C] But they saw it through without [D] complaining
For [G] deep [D] inside [C] was a burning [G] pride [C] For the town [G] I loved so well
But when I'd [D] return [C] how my eyes [G] were burned [C] To see how [G] a town could be brought to [D] its knees
By [G] the armoured [D] cars and [C] the bombed [G] out bars And [C] the gas that [G] hangs on [D] to [G] every [C] beach
[G] Now [Em] the [D] army's in store By [G] the road, gassy [Em] and war
And [C] the damned barbed wire gets higher [D] and higher
With their [G]
tanks and [D] guns Oh [Am] my [C] God, what have [G] they done
To [C] the town [G] I loved so well
[C] Now [G]
the [D] music's gone But [C] they carry [G] on
For [C] their spirit's been [G] bruised Never
[D] broken
Though [G] they'll not [D] forget Still [C] their hearts [G] are set
[C] On tomorrow [G] and peace [D] [G] once again
[C] [G] For [Em] what's done is [D] done [G] And what's won [Em] is won
[C] And what's lost is lost and [D] gone forever
I [G] can [D] only pray [C] For a bright brand [G] new day
[C] In the town I [G] loved [A]
so
