[Verse 1]
Am Asus Am
Take me away from the city
F G Am
Lead me to where I can be on my own
Am Asus Am
I wanted to see you but now that I have
F G Am
I just want to be left alone
G C
I'll always remember your kind words
Dm7 E (E7)
And I'll still remember your name
Am F
But I've seen you changing and turning
G Am
And I know that things won't be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
G F C G
[Chorus]
C G Am
I remember that summer in Dublin
F C
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
Dm Am7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Dm G
And everyone looking so well
C G Am
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
F C
Called rock and roll never forgets
Dm Am7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
Dm G
And the scream of the low flying jets
C G Am
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
F C
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
Dm Am7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
F G Am
I was glad we weren't going to far
[Verse 2]
Am Asus Am
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
F G Am
Trying to find a place where I can hear
Am Asus Am
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
F G Am
And the open road is always near
G C
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
Dm7 E (E7)
And I want to walk back up that hill
Am F
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
G Am
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still
[Chorus] (x2)
C G Am
I remember that summer in Dublin
F C
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
Dm Am7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Dm G
And everyone looking so well
C G Am
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
F C
Called rock and roll never forgets
Dm Am7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
Dm G
And the scream of the low flying jets
C G Am
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
F C
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
Dm Am7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
F G Am
I was glad we weren't going to far
