1. In my memory, I will always see
. C G D
the town that I have loved so well.
. G D C G
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall,
. C G D G
and we laughed through the smoke and the smell.
. C D G Em
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane,
. C Am D - D7
past the jail and down behind the fountain.
. G D C G
Those were happy days, in so many, many ways,
. C G - D G
in the town I loved so well.
. G D C G
2. In the early morning the shirt factory horn,
. C G D
called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog.
. G D C G
While the men on the dole played a mother's role,
. C G D G
fed the children and then walked the dogs.
. C D G Em
And though times were tough, there was just about enough
. C Am D - D7
and they saw it through without complaining.
. G D C G
For deep inside was a burning pride,
. C G - D G
in the town I loved so well.
. G D C G
3. There was music there in the Derry air,
. C G D
like a language that we could all understand.
. G D C G
I remember the day that I earned my first pay,
. C G D G
when I played in a small pick up band.
. C D G Em
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth,
. C Am D - D7
I was sad to leave it all behind me.
. G D C G
For I learned about life and I'd found a wife,
. C G - D G
in the town I loved so well.
. G D C G
4. But when I returned how my eyes were burned,
. C G D
to see how a town could be brought to its knees.
. G D C G
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars,
. C G D G
and the gas that hangs on to every breeze.
. C D G Em
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall,
. C Am D - D7
and that damned barbed wire gets higher and higher.
. G D C G
With their tanks and guns oh my God what have they done,
