	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
In my	memor	y I will	always	see

	Ab	Eb	Bb
The	town that	I have loved so	well

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
Where our	school played	ball by the	gasyard	wall

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
And we	laughed through the	smoke	and the	smell

	Ab	Bb	Eb	Eb/D	Eb/C	Eb/Bb
Going	home in the	rain, running	up the	dark	lane

	Ab	Ab/G	Fm7	Bb
Past the	jail	and	down behind the	fountain

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
Those were	happy	days in so	many, many	ways

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
In the	town I	loved	so	well

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
In the	early	morning the	shirt factory	horn

	Ab	Eb	Bb
Called the	women from	Creggan, the Moor and the	Bog

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
While the	men on the	dole played a	mothers	role

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
Fed the	children and	then	trained the	dog

	Ab	Bb	Eb	Eb/D	Eb/C	Eb/Bb
And when	times got	tough there was	just a	bout e	nough

	Ab	Ab/G	Fm7	Bb
But they	saw	it	through without com	plaining

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
For	deep in	side was a	burning	pride

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
In the	town I	loved	so	well

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
There was	music	there in the	Derry	air

	Ab	Eb	Bb
Like a	language that	we all could under	stand

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
I re	member the	day when I	earned my first	pay

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
And I	played in a	small	pickup	band

	Ab	Bb	Eb	Eb/D	Eb/C	Eb/Bb
There I	spent my	youth and to	tell you	the	truth

	Ab	Ab/G	Fm7	Bb
I was	sad	to	leave it all be	hind me

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
For I	learned about	life and I'd	found a	wife

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
In the	town I	loved	so	well

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
But when	I re	turned how my	eyes have	burned

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

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
By the	armoured	cars and the	bombed out	bars

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
And the	gas that hangs	on to	every	tree

	Ab	Bb	Eb	Eb/D	Eb/C	Eb/Bb
Now the	army's in	stalled by that	old gas	yard	wall

	Ab	Ab/G	Fm7	Bb
And the	damned	barbed	wire gets higher and	higher

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
With their	tanks and their	guns, oh my	God, what have they	done

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
To the	town I	loved	so	well

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
Now the	music's	gone but they	carry	on

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

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
They will	not for	get but their	hearts are	set

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
On to	morrow and	peace	once a	gain

	Ab	Bb	Eb	Eb/D	Eb/C	Eb/Bb
For what's	done is	done and what's	won	is	won

	Ab	Ab/G	Fm7	Bb
And what's	lost	is	lost and gone for	ever

	Eb	Bb/D	Ab/C	Eb
I can	only	pray for a	bright, brand new	day

	Ab	Eb	Bb	Eb
In the	town I	loved	so	well
