[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] In my _ [D] memory _ _ [C] I will [G] always see _ the [C] _ _ town [G] that I have loved _ [D] so well
[G] Where old school [D] played ball [C] by the gas yard [G] wall
[C] And we laughed _ [G] through the smoke [D] _
and the [G] smell
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ Going home [D] in the rain, _ [G] running up [Bm] the [Em] dark lane _
[C] Past the jail and down _ [D] behind the fountain _ _ _ _ _
[G] Those were [D] happy days _ [C] in so many, _ [G] many ways
_ [C] In the town _ [G] I loved [D] _ [G] so well
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ In the _ years [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ that I [G] grew up
_ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] And _ _ _ [G] _ [D] when _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
time _ [D] had passed
[G] There was [Bm] just a [Em] body now
And [C] they'd sew _ me through without [D] complaining
_ _ _ _ [G] For deep _ [D] _ _ inside of [C] the _ [G] burning _ pride
[C] In the town _ [G] I [D] loved [G]
so well
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ There was _ [D] music there _ [C] in the _ [G] derriere
Like [C] a language [G] that we all could _ _ [D] understand
_ I [G]
remember _ [D] the day when _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] I played [G] in a small league _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [D] I used to [G] _
[Bm] tell [Em] you the truth _ [G] _ [C] _ _
_ _ [Am] and leave it all [D]
behind _ me
_ For [G] I learned of [D] life and _ [C] _
I [G] found a wife
In [C] the town _ [G] I loved
[D] _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] But when _ I [D] returned _ [C] on my arm
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] To see how [G] a town could be brought to [D] its knees
[G] By the _ _ [D] army cars _ [C] and the bomb and the [G] robbery
_ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now _ [C]
an army's [D] in store [G] by that old gas [Em] yard wall
[C] And the town _ _ is fire [D] and fire
_ _ _ _ With [G] their tanks and [D] their guns
Oh [C] my God, what have [G] they done
To [C] the town _ [G] I [D] love _ [G] so well
_ _ _ _ Now the _ [D] music's gone [C] but _ they [G] carry on
[C] For their spirit's [G] been bruised, _ never _ _ broken
_ _ They will not forget _ what [C] _
their hearts [G] are set
_ [C] On tomorrow _ [G] and peace
[D] _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ Oh [C] what lies _ [D] _ behind _ [G]
what's won _ [Em] is won
[C] And what's lost [Am] is lost and [D] gone forever
_ _ _ _ [G] I can only _ [D] _ pray _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] in the _ town [G] I _ [D] love [G] so
_ Oh _ [Em] _ _
[C] what's won [D] is _ won
[G] And what's won [Bm] _ [Em] is won _
And [C] what's gone _ [Am] is lost and [D] gone forever _ _ _ _
I [G] can _ _ only [D]
pray _ [C] for a bright, bright [G] new day
[C] In the town _ [G] we all love
[D] _ One, [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ two, [G] three, four
[B] _ [C] _ [E] _ _ [Bm]
Oh [C] what's _ done [D] is done
[G] What's [Bm] won [Em] is _ _ won
[C] And what's lost [Am] is lost and [D] gone _ forever _
_ _ I [G] am _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [C] for a ride _ [G] _ _ _ [C] in the _ town
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [G] Oh [C] what's done _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G]
is _ [Bm] _ _ [Em] won _
And [C] what's [G] lost [Am] is lost and [D] gone forever _ _ _ _
[G] Ride along _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ in [C] the _ town [G] I love [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _
