In my GmemorD/F#y I will C/Ealways Gsee
The Ctown that GI have loved so Dwell
Where our Gschool played D/F#ball by the C/Egasyard Gwall
And we Claughed through the Gsmoke Dand the Gsmell
Going Chome in the Drain, running G up the G/F#dark G/Elane G/D
Past the Cjail C/Band Am7down behind the Dfountain
Those were Ghappy D/F#days in so C/Emany, many Gways
In the Ctown I Gloved Dso Gwell

In the Gearly D/F#morning the C/Eshirt factory Ghorn
Called the Cwomen from GCreggan, the Moor and the DBog
While the Gmen on the D/F#dole played a C/Emothers Grole
Fed the Cchildren and Gthen Dtrained the Gdog
And when Ctimes got Dtough there was Gjust aG/F#bout eG/Enough G/D
But they Csaw C/Bit Am7through without comDplaining
For Gdeep inD/F#side was a C/Eburning Gpride
In the Ctown I Gloved Dso Gwell

There was Gmusic D/F#there in the C/EDerry Gair
Like a Clanguage that Gwe all could underDstand
I reGmember the D/F#day when I C/Eearned my first Gpay
And I Cplayed in a Gsmall Dpickup Gband
There I Cspent my Dyouth and to Gtell you G/F#the G/Etruth G/D
I was Csad C/Bto Am7leave it all beDhind me
For I Glearned about D/F#life and I'd C/Efound a Gwife
In the Ctown I Gloved Dso Gwell

But when GI reD/F#turned how my C/Eeyes have Gburned
To Csee how a Gtown could be brought to its Dknees
By the Garmoured D/F#cars and the C/Ebombed out Gbars
And the Cgas that hangs Gon to Devery Gtree
Now the Carmy's inDstalled by that Gold gasG/F#yard G/Ewall G/D
And the Cdamned C/Bbarbed Am7wire gets higher and Dhigher
With their Gtanks and their D/F#guns, oh my C/EGod, what have they Gdone
To the Ctown I Gloved Dso Gwell

Now the Gmusic's D/F#gone but they C/Ecarry Gon
For their Cspirit's been Gbruised, never Dbroken
They will Gnot forD/F#get but their C/Ehearts are Gset
On toCmorrow and Gpeace Donce aGgain
For what's Cdone is Ddone and what's Gwon G/F#is G/Ewon G/D
And what's Clost C/Bis Am7lost and gone forDever
I can Gonly D/F#pray for a C/Ebright, brand new Gday
In the Ctown I Gloved Dso Gwell
