The Dubliners - The town i loved so well

^GIn my memor^Dy I will ^Calways ^Gsee The ^Ctown that ^GI have loved so ^Dwell Where our ^Gschool played ^Dball by the ^Cgasyard ^Gwall And we ^Claughed through the ^Gsmoke ^Dand ^Gsmell. Going ^Emhome in the ^Drain running ^Gup the dark ^Emlane Past the ^Cjail and ^Amdown beside the ^Dfountain Those were ^Ghappy ^Ddays in so ^Cmany many ^Gways In the ^Ctown I ^Gloved ^Dso ^Gwell.

^GIn the early ^Dmorning the ^Cshirt factory ^Ghorn Called ^Cwomen from ^GCreggan, the Moor and the ^DBog While the ^Gmen on the ^Ddole played a ^Cmothers ^Grole Fed the ^Cchildren and ^Gthen ^Dwalked the ^Gdog And when ^Emtimes got ^Drough, there was ^Gjust about ^Emenough But they ^Csaw it ^Amthrough without ^Dcomplaining For ^Gdeep in^Dside was a ^Cburning ^Gpride for the ^Ctown I ^Gloved ^Dso ^Gwell.

^GThere was music ^Dthere in the ^CDerry ^Gair Like a ^Clanguage that ^Gwe all could understan^Dd I rem^Gember the ^Dday when I ^Cearned my first ^Gpay as I ^Cplayed in a ^Gsmall ^Dpickup ^Gband There I ^Emspent my ^Dyouth and to ^Gtell you the ^Emtruth I was ^Csad to ^Amleave it all ^Dbehind me For I'd ^Glearned about ^Dlife and I'd ^Cfound a ^Gwife In the ^Ctown I ^Gloved ^Dso ^Gwell.

^GBut when I ret^Durned, oh my ^Ceyes, how they had b^Gurned To ^Csee how a ^Gtown could be brought to it's ^Dknees By the ^Garmoured ^Dcars and the ^Cbombed out ^Gbars And the ^Cgas that hangs ^Gon to ^Devery ^Gbreeze Now the ^Emarmy's in^Dstalled by that ^Gold gasyard ^Emwall And the ^Cdamned barbed ^Amwire gets higher and ^Dhigher With their ^Gtanks and ^Dguns, oh my ^CGod, what have they ^Gdone To the ^Ctown I ^Gloved ^Dso ^Gwell.

^GNow the music's ^Dgone but they ^Ccarry ^Gon For their s^Cpirit's been ^Gbruised, never broke^Dn Oh, they'll ^Gnot forg^Det still their ^Chearts are ^Gset On ^Ctomorrow and ^Gpeace ^Donce ^Gagain Now what's ^Emdone is ^Ddone and what's ^Gwon is ^Emwon And what's ^Clost is ^Am7lost and gone fo^Drever I can ^Gonly ^Dpray for a ^Cbright brand new ^Gday In the ^Ctown I ^Gloved ^Dso ^Gwell.
