Biography:
The Dubliners was an Irish folk band founded in Dublin, Ireland, in 1962. One of the most influential Irish acts of the 20th century, they celebrated 50 years together in 2012, making them Ireland's longest surviving musical act. Also in 2012, the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards bestowed them with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

[Verse]
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 gasyard wall
C G D G
And we laughed through the smoke and smell.
Em D C G
Going home in the rain running up the dark lane
C Am D
Past the jail and down beside 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.
[Verse]
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 mothers role
C G D G
Fed the children and then walked the dog
Em D C G
And when times got rough, there was just about enough
C Am D
But they saw it through without complaining
G D C G
For deep inside was a burning pride
C G D G
for the town I loved so well.
[Verse]
G D C G
There was music there in the Derry air
C G D
Like a language that we 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 pickup band
Em D C G
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
C Am D
I was sad to leave it all behind me
G D C G
For I'd learned about life and I'd found a wife
C G D G
In the town I loved so well.
[Verse]
G D C G
But when I returned, oh my eyes, how they had burned
C G D
To see how a town could be brought to it's knees
G D C G
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
C G D G
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
Em D C G
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
C Am D
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
G D C G
With their tanks and guns, oh my God, what have they done
C G D G
To the town I loved so well.
[Verse]
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
Oh, they'll not forget still their hearts are set
C G D G
On tomorrow and peace once again
Em D C G
Now what's done is done and what's won is won
C Am7 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.
