	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
In my	memor	y I will	always	see

	C#	Ab	Eb
The	town that	I have loved so	well

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
Where our	school played	ball by the	gasyard	wall

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
And we	laughed through the	smoke	and the	smell

	C#	Eb	Ab	Ab/G	Ab/F	Ab/Eb
Going	home in the	rain, running	up the	dark	lane

	C#	C#/C	Bbm7	Eb
Past the	jail	and	down behind the	fountain

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
Those were	happy	days in so	many, many	ways

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
In the	town I	loved	so	well

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
In the	early	morning the	shirt factory	horn

	C#	Ab	Eb
Called the	women from	Creggan, the Moor and the	Bog

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
While the	men on the	dole played a	mothers	role

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
Fed the	children and	then	trained the	dog

	C#	Eb	Ab	Ab/G	Ab/F	Ab/Eb
And when	times got	tough there was	just a	bout e	nough

	C#	C#/C	Bbm7	Eb
But they	saw	it	through without com	plaining

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
For	deep in	side was a	burning	pride

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
In the	town I	loved	so	well

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
There was	music	there in the	Derry	air

	C#	Ab	Eb
Like a	language that	we all could under	stand

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
I re	member the	day when I	earned my first	pay

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
And I	played in a	small	pickup	band

	C#	Eb	Ab	Ab/G	Ab/F	Ab/Eb
There I	spent my	youth and to	tell you	the	truth

	C#	C#/C	Bbm7	Eb
I was	sad	to	leave it all be	hind me

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
For I	learned about	life and I'd	found a	wife

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
In the	town I	loved	so	well

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
But when	I re	turned how my	eyes have	burned

	C#	Ab	Eb
To	see how a	town could be brought to its	knees

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
By the	armoured	cars and the	bombed out	bars

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
And the	gas that hangs	on to	every	tree

	C#	Eb	Ab	Ab/G	Ab/F	Ab/Eb
Now the	army's in	stalled by that	old gas	yard	wall

	C#	C#/C	Bbm7	Eb
And the	damned	barbed	wire gets higher and	higher

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
With their	tanks and their	guns, oh my	God, what have they	done

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
To the	town I	loved	so	well

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
Now the	music's	gone but they	carry	on

	C#	Ab	Eb
For their	spirit's been	bruised, never	broken

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
They will	not for	get but their	hearts are	set

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
On to	morrow and	peace	once a	gain

	C#	Eb	Ab	Ab/G	Ab/F	Ab/Eb
For what's	done is	done and what's	won	is	won

	C#	C#/C	Bbm7	Eb
And what's	lost	is	lost and gone for	ever

	Ab	Eb/G	C#/F	Ab
I can	only	pray for a	bright, brand new	day

	C#	Ab	Eb	Ab
In the	town I	loved	so	well
