Take[C] me away from the[Am] city
And[F] lead me to where I can be on my[C] own
I[F] wanted to see
you but[C] now that I have
I[Dm] just want to be left[G] alone
I'll[C] always remember your[Am] kind words
And I'll[F]
still remember your[C] name
But I've[F] seen you changing and[C] turning
And I[Dm] know that things won't be the[G] same
Chorus:
I re[C]member that summer in [Am]Dublin
And the[F] Liffey it stank like[C] hell
And the[F] young people
walking on[C] Grafton Street
And[Dm] everyone looking so[G] well
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
Called Rock and Roll Never Forgets
When my hum it was smothered by a 46A
And
the scream of a low-flying Jet
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
And a drunk
on the bus told me how to get rich
I was glad we weren't going too far
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
Tryin' to find a place where I can hear
Where the wind and the birds and the
sea and the rocks
And where open roads always are near
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet and I want to walk back
up that hill
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
I know that you'll be there still
