[C] [G] [D]
[C] [G]
[C] In
[D]
my [G] [D] memory [C] I will always [G]
see the [C] town [G] that I have loved [D] so well
Where [G] our schools played [D]
ball by the [C] gas yard [G]
wall
And we [C] laughed [G] through the smoke and the smell
Going [Em] home in [D] the rain, [G] running up the [Em] dark lane
[C] Past the jail and down behind [D] the fountain
Those [G] were [D] happy days [C] in so many, many [G]
ways
[C] In the town [G] I loved [D] [G] so well
In the [D] early morning [C] the shirt factory [G]
horn
[C] Called the women [G] from the craggin, the moor [D] and the ball
[G] While the men on the [D] dole [C] played a [G] mother's role
[C] And the children [G] and the men walked the dog
And [Em] when [D] times got rough, [G] there was just [Em] about enough
[C] But they saw it through [D] without complaining
For [G] deep in [D] the sight [C] was the burning [G]
pride
[C] Of the town [G] I loved [D] [G] so well
But when I'd [D] return, [C] how my eyes [G] were burnt
[C] To see [G] how a town should be brought [D] to its knees
By [G] the [D] armored cars [C] and the bombed [G] out barns
[C] And the gas [G] that hangs on [D] [G] to every beam
Now [Em] the [D] army's installed [G] by the old gas [Em] yard wall
[C] And the damn barbed wire gets [D] higher and higher
With [Am] [G] their tanks [D] and guns, [C] oh my God, what have [G] they done
[C] To the town [G] I loved [D] [G] so well
Now the [D] music's gone, but [C] they carry [G]
on
For [C] their spirit's [G] been bruised, never [D] broken
Though [G] they'll not [D]
forget, still [C] their hearts [G] are set
On [C] tomorrow and [G]
peace [D] once [G] again
For [Em] what's done, [D] it's done, [G] and what's won [Em] is won
And what's [C] lost, it's lost and gone [D] forever
I [G] can only [D] pray for [C] a bright brand new [G] day
In [C] the town [G] I loved [D] so [G] well
