The Town I Loved So Well Lyrics And Chords
This is a modern Irish folk song written By Phil Coulter and a huge hit for The Dubliners with Luke Kelly [ lyrics ]. Here is another one of Phil's famous songs about his native City of Derry , Luke Kelly made this one his own , Paddy Reilly also does a mighty job on it too , this is like a Derry anthem like Molly Malone is to Dublin,,,Great stuff from Phil. Learn the song boys and girls , it's a cracker. Also recorded by Johnny McEvoy, Nathan Carter and in 2017 by Irish folk group The Whistlin' Donkeys.. I have given the guitar chords in 4 different keys. The town I loved so well sheet music for tin whistle .
In[G] my memo[D]ry I will[C] always [G]see
The[C] town that[G] I have loved so[D] well Where our[G] school played[D] ball by the[C] gasyard [G]wall And we[C] laughed through the[G] smoke[D] and the [G]smell. Going[G] home in[D] the rain running[C] up the Dark [G]Lane Past the[C] jail and down beside the[D] Fountain Those were[G] happy[D] days in so [G]many many[G] ways In the[C] town I[G] loved[D] so[G] well. In the early morn the shirt factory horn Called the women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog While the men on the dole played a mother's role Fed the children and then walked the dog And when times got rough there was just about enough But they saw it through without complaining For deep inside was a burning pride In the town I loved so well. There was music there in the Derry air [ song lyrics ] Like a language that we could all understand I remember the day when I earned my first pay When I played in a small pick-up band There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth I was sad to leave it all behind me There I learned about life and I found a wife In the town I loved so well: But when I returned oh my eyes how they burned To see how a town could be brought to its knees By the armored cars and the bombed out bars And the gas that hangs on to every breeze Now the army's installed by the old gasyard wall And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher With their tanks and their guns Oh my God, what have they done To the town I loved so well. Now the music's gone but they carry on For their spirit's been bruised, never broken They will not forget but their hearts are set On tomorrow and peace once again Now what's done is done and what's won is won And what's lost is lost and gone forever I can only pray for a bright brand new day For the town I love so well.
