In my memory I will always see
         C                 G                             D 
the town that I have loved so well
                     G                         D                     C               G 
Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall
               C                                     G         D             G 
and we laughed through the smoke and the smell
             Em                   D                         G           Em     C 
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane
                                     G           C               D 
past the jail and down behind the fountain
                       G         D                   C                   G 
Those were happy days in so many, many ways
               C           G         D   G 
in the town I loved so well
               G         D                     C                         G 
In the early morning the shirt factory horn
   C                   G                                                 D 
called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
                     G                   D                         C               G 
While the men on the dole played a mother's role,
                 C                       G       D                   G 
fed the children and then walked the dogs
                   Em               D                             G         Em       C 
And when times got rough there was just about enough
                                 G                     C           D 
But they saw it through without complaining
         G           D                   C             G 
For deep inside was a burning pride
               C           G         D   G 
in the town I loved so well
                     G         D                       C         G 
There was music there in the Derry air
               C                         G                                             D 
like a language that we could all could understand
         G                   D                   C                             G 
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
           C                     G         D             G 
As I played in a small pick-up band
                 Em             D                       G       Em           C 
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
               C               G                               D 
I was sad to leave it all behind me
             G                         D                       C             G 
For I learned about life and I'd found a wife
               C           G         D   G 
in the town I loved so well
                   G     D                         C                 G 
But when I returned how my eyes have burned
       C                 G                                                       D 
to see how a town could be brought to its knees
               G             D                       C                   G 
By the armored cars and the bombed out bars
                 C                           G             D     G 
and the gas that hangs on to every tree
                 Em             D                             G     Em             C 
Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall
                                   C                 G                           D 
and the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
                       G                             D                     C                                     G 
With their tanks and their guns, oh my God, what have they done?
               C           G         D   G 
to the town I loved so well
                 G             D                         C         G 
Now the music's gone but they carry on
                     C                         G                                 D 
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
                     G           D                         C                   G 
They will not forget but their hearts are set
           C                   G         D         G 
on tomorrow and peace once again
                       Em           D                             G     Em  C 
For what's done is done and what's won is won
                                       C               G             D 
and what's lost is lost and gone forever
             G       D                   C                                 G 
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
               C           G         D   G 
in the town I loved so well
