MIb   SIb/RE DOm7   SIb/FA  FA7

      SIb FA/LA     MIb/SOL SIb
In my memory I will always  see
    MIb       SIb             FA
The town that I have loved so well
          SIb           FA/LA       MIb/SOL  SIb
Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall
       MIb                 SIb/FA FA      SIb
And we laughed through the smoke  and the smell
      MIb         FA            SIb    SIb/LA SOLm   
Going home in the rain, running up the dark   lane,
SOLm/FA    MIb  MIb/RE     DOm             FA
 Past ther gaol (jail) and down behind the fountain,

           SIb   FA/LA      MIb/SOL    SIb
Those were happy days in so many, many ways
       MIb    SIb/FA FA  SIb
In the town I loved   so well
             FA/LA        MIb/SOL       SIb
In the early morning, the shirt factory horn
       MIb        SIb                       FA
Callde women from Creggan, the moor and the bog
            SIb        FA/LA         MIb/SOL  SIb
While their men on the dole played a mother's role
        MIb          SIb/FA FA          SOb
Fed the children and then   trained the dogs
         MIb       FA               SIb   SIb/LA SOLm
And when times got tough, there was just about enough
SOLm/FA   MIb MIb/RE DOm                FA
 But they saw  it    through without complaining
    SIb    FA/LA      MIb/SOL SIb
For deep inside was a burning pride
       MIb    SIb/FA FA  SIb
In the town I loved   so well

          SIb   FA/LA        MIb/SOL SIb
There was music there in the Derry   air
       MIb           SIb               FA  
Like a language that we all could understand
    SIb        FA/LA      MIb/SOL         SIb
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
       MIb         SIb/FA FA      SIb
When I played in a small  pick-up band
        MIb      FA           SIb   SIb/LA SOLm
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
SOLm/FA MIb MIb/RE DOm            FA
  I was sad  to    leave it all behind me
      SIb           FA/LA      MIb/SOL SIb
For I learned about life and I found a wife
       MIb    SIb/FA FA  SIb
In the town I loved   so well

SIb    FA/LA    MIb/SOL    SIb

MIb    SIb       FA

SIb    FA/LA    MIb/SOL  FA SIb  

MIb    SIb/FA  FA  SIb

         SIb FA/LA         MIb/SOL   SIb
But when I returned how my eyes have burned
   MIb       SIb                          FA
To see how a town could be brought to its knees
       SIb      FA/LA        MIb/SOL    SIb
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
        MIb            SIb/FA FA    SIb
And the gas that hangs on to  every breeze
        MIb      FA             SIb SIb/LA   SOLm
Now the army's installed by the old gas yard wall
SOLm/FA  MIb    MIb/RE DOm                  FA
 And the damded barbed wire gets higher and higher
           SIb             FA/LA
With their tanks and their guns 
      MIb/SOL            SIb
oh my God what have they done
       MIb    SIb/FA FA SIb
To the town I loved  so well

        SIb     FA/LA         MIb/SOL SIb
Now the music's gone but they carry   on
          MIb           SIb               FA
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
          SIb    FA/LA         MIb/SOL    SIb
They will not forget but their hearts are set
     MIb        SIb/FA FA    SIb
On tomorrow and peace  once again
           MIb     FA              SIb SIb/LA SOLm
For what's done is done and what's won is     won
SOLm/FA     MIb MIb/RE DOm             FA
 And what's lost  is   lost and gone forever
      SIb  FA/LA      MIb/SOL           SIb
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
       MIb    SIb/FA FA SIb  MIb/SIb     SIb
In the town I loved  so well

The Town I Loved So Well è un brano composto e inciso da The Dubliners, contenuto nell'album Plain and Simple pubblicato nel 1973. Dodicesimo lavoro in studio per la band irlandese, viene realizzato in un periodo pieno di impegni anche solistici per i suoi componenti: uno su tutti è la parte di Erode che viene interpretato del fondatore Luke Kelly in Jesus Christ Superstar! La canzone porta la firma di un grande amico di Kelly, il cantautore Phil Coulter, e fu uno dei suoi cavalli di battaglia anche dopo l'esperienza con i Dubliners.
