The Town I Loved So Well Chords by The High Kings

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ In _ my _ _ [A] memory I [Dm] will _
[C] always see [F] a town [C] _
that I _ have loved so [G] well
Where the [C] school played [G] _ ball by the [G] gas [C] yard wall
And we laughed through the smoke and [C] the smell _ _ _
_ _ Going [G] _ home in [G] the rain, _ [C] running up the dark [Am] lane
_ Past the [G] jail, _ down [G] behind the fountain _ _ _ _
[C] Those were _ happy [G] days [C] in so many, many [C] ways _
In the town _ I loved [G] so well _ _ _ _ _
In the early _ _ morning [F] the shirt [C] factory horn _
Called the women _ [C] from Craigin, the moor and [G] the bog
While [C] the men _ on the [G] door played [F] the _ [C] mother's role
_ Fed the [F] children _ [C] and then [G] _ walked the [C] dog
_ _ _ _ And when [F] _ times got tough there [C] was just about [Am] enough
_ But [G] they saw _ it through _ without complaining
_ For _ _ _ [C]
deep _ [G] inside _ was a [F]
burning [C] pride
_ In the town I loved so well _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ There was _ [G] music there [F] in the _ dairy [C] air
_ Like a language _
[C] that we _ could all [G] understand
_ I [C] remember _ [G] the day when [F] I earned my [C] first pay
And [F] I played [C] in a small [G] pickup [C] band _
_ _ _ There [F] I spent [G] my youth _ [C] and to tell you [Am] the truth
_ [F] I was _ sad [D] to leave it [G] all behind me
_ _ For [C] I learned [G] about life and I found me a wife
_ [F] In the town [C] I loved [G] _ so [C] well _
_ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ But [C] when I _
_ [G] returned how [F] my eyes [C] had burned
To see how a town could be brought _ [G] to its knees
With [C] their armored _ [G] cars and [F] the bombed [C] out bars
And [G] the gas that hangs on [G] to every [C] breeze _ _
_ _ _ Now [F] the _ army's [G] in song by [C] that old gas yard [Am] wall
And the dark _ wire gets higher [G] and higher
_ _ _ With [C] their tanks and [G] their guns
Oh [F] my God what [C] have they done
To the town I loved [G] _ [C] so well _
_ _ _ Now the _ _ [G] music's gone [F] but they carry _ [C] on
_ For the _ spirit's been bruised never _ _ _ [G] broken
_ [C] They will not [G] _ forget [F] but their hearts [C] are set
_ On [F] tomorrow _ [C] and peace _ [G] once again
[C] _
_ _ _ For [F] what's done _ [G] is done [C] and what's won [Em] is won
And what's _ [Dm] lost is lost and [G] gone forever
_ _ _ _ [C] I can _ only [G] _ pray [F] for a bright [C] brand new day
[F] In the town [C] I loved so well
_ _ _ For [F] what's done [G] is done [C] and what's won [Em] is won
And what's lost [Dm] is lost and [G] gone forever
_ _ _ I [C] can _ only [G] _ pray [F] for a bright [C] brand new day
[F] In the town I loved [C] so _ _
[F] _ well _ _ _ _ _
