[Ab] I'd like to sing Colter's song, The Town I Love So Well, and sing it with you.
In my [Eb] memory I [Db] will always [Ab] see
[Db] The town [Ab] that I have loved so [Eb]
well
Where our schools [Eb] played ball [Db] by the gas [Ab] yard wall
And [Db] we laughed through [Ab] the smoke and the smell
Going [Fm] home in [Eb] the rain, [Ab] running out the [Fm] dark lane
[Db] Past the jail and down behind [Eb] the mountain
Those [Ab] were [Eb] happy days in [Db] so many, many [Ab]
ways
[Db] In the town [Ab] I love so well
In the [Eb] early morning
[Db] the shirt [Ab] factory horn
[Db] Called the women [Ab] from the craggin', the moor [Eb] and the ball
[Ab] While the men on the [Eb]
dole [Db] played a [Ab] mother's role
[Db] For the children [Ab] and then walked the doll
And [Fm] when [Eb] times got rough, there [Ab] was just about [Fm]
enough
But [Db] they saw it [Eb] without complaining
For deep inside [Db] was a burning [Ab] pride
[Db] For the town [Ab] I love so well
But when I'd [Eb] return, [Db] how my eyes [Ab] were burned
[Db] To see how [Ab] a town could be brought [Eb] to its knees
[Ab] By the armored [Eb] cars [Db] and the bombed out
[Ab] [Db] And the gas that [Ab] hangs on to every breeze
Now [Fm] the [Eb] army's installed [Ab] by the road, the [Fm] yard wall
The [Db]
tampons [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] and guns, [Db] oh my God, what [Ab] have they done
[Db] To the town [Ab] I love so well
Now the [Eb] music's gone, [Ab] but they carry on
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
Though they'll not forget, still their hearts are sent
On tomorrow and peace once again
[Db] [Ab] For [Fm] what's done [Eb] is done, [Ab] and what's won is [Fm] won
And [Db] what's lost is lost and gone [Eb] forever
[Ab] I can only [Eb] pray for [Db] a bright, [Ab] brand new day
In the [Db] town I [Ab]
love [Eb] so [Ab] well
In my [Eb] memory I [Db] will always [Ab] see
[Db] The town [Ab] that I have loved so [Eb]
well
Where our schools [Eb] played ball [Db] by the gas [Ab] yard wall
And [Db] we laughed through [Ab] the smoke and the smell
Going [Fm] home in [Eb] the rain, [Ab] running out the [Fm] dark lane
[Db] Past the jail and down behind [Eb] the mountain
Those [Ab] were [Eb] happy days in [Db] so many, many [Ab]
ways
[Db] In the town [Ab] I love so well

love [Eb] so [Ab] well
