[Gm] [Eb] [Bb] [F]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm]
[Bb] [F]
In [Bb] my [F] memory I [G] will [Eb] always [Bb]
see [Eb] the town [Bb] that I have loved [F] so well
Where [Bb] our school [F] played ball by [G] the [Eb] gas yard [Bb]
wall
And [Eb] we laughed through the [Bb]
smoke [F] and [Bb] the smell
[Eb] Going home [F] in the rain, [Bb] running up the [Gm] dark lane
[Eb] Past the jail [Gm] [Cm] and down behind [F] the fountain
Those [Bb] were happy [F]
days in [G] so many, [Eb] many [Bb]
ways
[Eb] In the town [Bb] I [F] loved [Bb] so well
In the early [F]
morning [G] the [Eb] shirt factory [Bb] horn
[Eb] Called women from [Bb] Craigin, the moor and [F] the bog
While [Bb] the men [F]
[G] played a [Eb] [Bb] mother's role
[Eb] Feathered the children [Bb] and [F] then trained [Bb] the dogs
And [Eb] when times [F] got tough, there [Bb] was just [Gm] about enough
But they saw [Cm] it through without [F] complaining
For [Bb] deep [F] inside was [Eb] a burning [Bb] pride
In the [Eb] town I [Bb] [F] loved so [Bb] well
There was music [F] there in [Eb] the dairy [Bb] air
Like [Eb] a language that [Bb] we all could [F] understand
I [Bb] remember [F] the day that [Eb] I earned my first [Bb] pay
When [Eb] I played in a [Bb] small [F]
pickup [Bb] band
There [Eb] I spent my [F] youth and [Bb] to tell you [Gm] the truth
I [Eb] was sad to [Cm] leave it all [F] behind me
For [Bb] I'd learned [F] about life and [G] I'd found [Bb] a wife
In [Eb] the town I [Bb] [F]
loved [Bb] so well

But when I [F] returned, how [Eb] my eyes [Bb] have burned
[Eb] To see how [Bb] a town could be brought to [F] its knees
[Bb] By the [F] armored cars [Eb] and the bombed [Bb] out bars
[Eb] And the gas that [Bb] hangs on [F] to [Bb] every tree
Now [Eb] the army's [F] installed [Bb] by that old [Dm] gas [Gm] yard wall
And [Eb] [Gm] [Cm] it gets [F] higher and higher with [Bb] their tangs and [F] their guns
Oh [Eb] my God, what have [Bb] they done [Eb] to the town [Bb] I [F] loved [Bb] so well
Now the [F] music's gone, [Eb] but they carry [Bb] on
[Eb] For their spirit's been [Bb] bruised, never [F] broken
They [Bb] will not [F] forget, but [Eb] their hearts [Bb] are set
[Eb] On tomorrow [Bb] and [F] peace [Bb] once again
For [Eb] what's done [F] is done and [Bb] what's won [Gm] is won
And what's lost [Cm] is lost and gone [F] forever
I [Bb] can only [F] pray for [Eb] a bright [Bb] brand new day
[Eb] In the town [Bb] I [F] loved so [Bb] well
