In my [E] memory,
[D] ever low [A] he see'd [D] The [A] town that I have loved [E] so well
[A] Per scope [E] he'd pull [A] [D] by the gas [A]-yard wall And [D] he laughed [A] through the smoke [B] and the smell
[A]
Going [E] home in the rain, [A] running up the [F#m] dark lane [D] As he'd sail [Bm] down [B] behind the fountain
[E]
[A] Those were [E] happy days [D] in so many, many [A] ways [D] And the town [A] I [E] loved [A] so well
In the [E] early morning [D] the shirt [A] factory horn
[D] Calls women [A] from Craigin, the moor [E] and the pub
[A] For the man [E] on the door [D] did a [A] mother's role For the children and to them walked the dog
And when times [E] got rough, [A] it was [B] just about [F#m] enough [D] And we saw [Bm] it through without [E] complaining
For
[A] deep [E] inside [D] was a [A] burning pride For [D] the town [A] I loved so well
There was [E] music there [D] and the free [A] terrier [D] Like a language [A] that we could all [E] understand
[A] I remember [E] the day [D] when I earned [A] my first pay [D] And I played in [A] a small pickup barn
There I spent [E] my youth [A] and I'll tell [E] you [F#m] the truth [D] It was sad [Bm] to leave it so [E] behind me
[A] There it learned [E] about life [D] and [A] it found for me Who I, in the [D] town [A] I loved [E]
[A] so well
[B]
[A] But when I [E] returned, [A] my eyes were burned To [D] see how a town [B] could be brought [E] to its knees
By the hammered cars [D] and the bombed [A] out bars [D] And the gas that times up to ever decrease
Now the [E] army's in store, [A] but that old [F#m] gas yard wall [D] And the damn [Bm]
barbed wire [B] gets higher and higher
With [E] [A] their tanks [A] [E] and guns, [D] oh my God, [A] what have they done [D] To the town [A] I loved [E] [E] so well
[D]
[A] And the
[E] music's gone, [D] but they still [A]
carry on [D] Their [A] spirits' timbre's never
[E] broken
They [A] will not
[E] forget, [D] yet their [A] hearts are set On [D] tomorrow [A]
and peace [E] [A] once again
For what's [E] done is done, [A] and what's [E]
won [F#m] is won [D] And what's [Bm] lost is lost and [B] gone forever
[E] They [A] can [E] only pray [D] for a bright brand new [B] day [D] For the town [A] I loved [A] so well
For the town [E] I loved so [A] well
