The Town I Loved So Well chords
Paddy Reilly (Phil Coulter)
Capo I
G D C G
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 gas yard wall
C G D G
and we laughed through the smoke and the smell
Em D G Em C
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane
G C D
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
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
Em D G Em C
And when times got rough there was just about enough
G C D
But 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
There was music there in the Derry air
C G D
like a language that we could all could understand
G D C G
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
C G D G
As I played in a small pick-up band
Em D G Em C
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
G C D
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
But when I returned how my eyes have burned
C G D
to see how a town could be brought to its knees
G D C G
By the armored cars and the bombed out bars
C G D G
and the gas that hangs on to every tree
Em D G Em C
Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall
G C D
and the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
G D C G
With their tanks and their guns, oh my God, what have they done?
C G D G
to the town I loved so well
G D C G
Now the music's gone but they carry on
C G D
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
G D C G
They will not forget but their hearts are set
C G D G
on tomorrow and peace once again
Em D G Em C
For what's done is done and what's won is won
G C D
and what's lost is lost and gone forever
G D C G
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
C G D G
in the town I loved so well
