[G]
[D] [C] [G] [C]
In [D] [G] my [D] memory [C] I will always [G] see [C] the town [G] that I saw [D] well.
[G] Where our stillness [D] played ball [C] by the gas [G] yard wall.
[C] We laughed [G] through the smoke and the smell.
[Em] Going home [D] in the rain, [G] running out [Em] the 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] so well.
In the [D] early morning [C] the shirt [G] factory horn.
[C] Called women [G] from Craigin, Moore [D] and Vaughan.
[G] While the men on the dole [C] played a [G] mother's role.
[C] That the children and them [G] walked the dole.
[Em]
[D] Things got rough, [G] there was just [Em] about enough.
[C] But they saw it through without complaining.
[G]
Deep inside [C] was a [G] burning pride [C] for the town [G] so well.
But when I'd return, [C] how my [G] eyes were burned.
[C] To see [G] how a town could be brought to its knees.
By the [D] army cars [C] and the [G] bombed out barns.
[C] And the gas that hangs on to every day.
[G] [Em] While the [D] army's installed [G] by the [Em] gas yard wall.
[C] And the damn barbed wire gets [D] higher and higher.
[G] With their tanks and guns, [C] oh my God, [G] what have they done.
[C] To the town so [G] well.
Now the [D] music's gone, [C] but they carry [G] on.
[C] For their [G] spirits been bruised, never [D] broken.
Though [G] they'll not [D] forget, [C] still their hearts [G] are set.
[C] On tomorrow and peace [G] once again.
[Em] For what's done, [D] it's done.
[G] And what's won [Em] is won.
[C] And what's lost, it's lost and gone [D] forever.
I [G] can only [E] pray for [C] a bright brand new [G] day.
In the [C] town I love so.
